The NDP wants to field a full slate of candidates and in order to do so there are candidates who are either inexperienced or parachuted in. I wouldn't doubt that when the Reform party was still growing it did the exact same thing.

I just think it could have been very interesting had the CPC not won a majority and Layton had been given an opportunity to form a coalition and become PM.
