You're probably on to something because Ignatieff did not come as advertised. He was supposed to bring a little conservative sensibility to the Liberal party but they are campaigning in this election for the leftist vote. I guess they see the NDP as their rival now instead of the Conservatives. It's a huge mistake in strategy IMO. I don't agree with Layton's political leanings, but when it comes leadership in the eyes of people who do have those perspectives, the Liberals have nothing to compete with when it comes to him.
