I remember talking to a heavily involved NDP supporter once just a few years ago, and I asked him about a merger of the left.
The first thing he did was snort in disgust and tell me that the Liberal's weren't a left party, they were a power party which meant that they would take any stance to keep power.
Then he informed me that the NDP role was not to merge with the Liberal's, it was to supplant then destroy the Liberals.
