The truth is, the Liberals, NDP and Conservatives are all quite different. There is no close overlap such that a merger makes sense. The closest, imnsho, is actually Conservative and Liberal, not Liberal and NDP.
Each of the three parties has its hardline supporters that hates the other two. The Liberals' advantage is that being in the middle, they can attract the swing voters from either side if they get their own house in order. I just wonder if golden boy can do it. But I do think the NDP have plateaued if they can't destroy the Liberals, because I doubt many will swing from Conservative to Dipper. So May's blathering is counter productive if the NDP actually wants to become government some day.
