Yeah, that is pretty much the reason why I like them.
I would wait and see how the new looked. The Liberals should have more influence being the more powerful of the parties... in theory anyway.
It probably wouldn't take too long for another left wing splinter group to form though. Far left wing people tend to be more politcally motivated for those things.
I still see Canada as a "centrist country" in general. One or both of the parties will have to move in that direction... but which one?
