Decidedly unlikely. The Liberals and NDP are father apart than the Liberals and Conservatives are. The Liberals could not effect an "equal partnership" without making a big jump left, which would lose right-leaning Liberals to the Conservatives.
But beyond that, the general delusion that NDP types operate under wouldn't allow for it. If they weren't going to press for a merger when they were largely irrelevant, they won't press for one when they are momentarily relevant.
