The bottom line is that in any democracy it is much healthier to have a change in government every so often to reduce the inevitable occurance of corruption and waste. Power always corrupts.
Thus, when we are seeing a CPC that is beginning to show signs of problems, I think it would be healthier to have a Liberal Party moving ahead with a leader that could capture the center and govern all of Canada instead of one who will likely further fracture the electorate and in my mind solidify many more years of Conservative rule.

I'm generally a conservative supporter, but would vote liberal in the right circumstances, like a thoughtful moderate liberal leader and a conservative government that had grown contemptful of the electorate from too many years in power. Just a thought for the liberals. I think they'll be sadly mistaken if they shift leftward to try and fend off the NDP. If they wish to govern, they need to own the centre, as they did for most of the last century. Some actual ideas (as opposed to great hair) would probably help as well.
