Maybe, maybe not. The Bloc wasn't exactly right wing, so the change is mostly a swap in colours in the socialist world.
Layton now has to manage a caucus that is primarily driven by Quebec, and does so walking a tightrope because of the political and cultural gap. If he goes too far to Quebec, he risks losing support back to the Liberals. If he goes too far federal, he risks losing support back to the Bloc.
Layton has the hardest road ahead, imo.
