If Ignatief wins, he will push the Liberals closer to the Conservatives in ideology. Frankly, I'm really surprised that Iggy isn't a member of the Conservative party. If the Progressive Conservative party still existed, I suspect he'd be a member.

Your right! Bob Rae would push the Liberals closer with the NDP. But there have been signs that is already happening. For instance, union leader Buzz Hargrove urged people to vote Liberal in the election a couple years ago. The former NDP Premier of BC (Ujjal Dosanjh) is a Liberal member in Parliament. Also, the Liberals have moved to the left since Chretien departed as Prime Minister. Iniatives such as dealing with global warming have become a major part of their party platform.
