I am incredibly disappointed in this news. I do not like Mulcair and some of the Conservatives' recent social policies have left a sour taste in my mouth, so I was looking forward to having a credible man with plenty of real world experience potentially leading the Liberals. I couldn't think of a better politician for science and innovation in this country, so it is really too bad that he dropped out. I am not a fan of Trudeau, so I will have to make a tough choice in the next election.
Also, I can't see the Liberals and NDP merging as they are so fundamentally different. I wouldn't be surprised to see as many, if not more, Liberals defect to the Conservatives while holding their noses rather than go with the NDP. Although the Liberals have moved too close to the NDP recently, I think that they do have the ability to move away from what Dion and Ignatieff have done and regain some of their core support.
