Why do I think those 2 points hit the nail on the head.

He is saying is, that the strategy of out centering the Liberals is simply leading to an occasional Conservative win between Liberal dynasties. Which has happened. Why vote conservative if the liberals will do? Is there any difference?
You said yourself that the Conservatives need to go closer to the centre to beat them. Why not just join the Liberals and make a super party? His alternative to your thought, whether right or wrong, is to take the lumps and actually come back with a viable alternative. He uses the Republican example.
I don't think that means going farther to the right. Reforming the system we have doesn't mean they have to out-reform the Reform party.

That's the usual scare tactic cop-out reply from the Reform Party . . . . it has nothing to do with reality.
Canadians want a moderate left and a moderate right alternative.
You and the NDP can inhabit the fringes but that's not where you're going to get votes. That's the reality.
And quoting the Republicans as an example? Hello!!! Knock, knock!! This isn't America!! The centre - even the spelling of the word - is different here.
