Although, I do find it rather amusing that they’re seemingly all in a rush to get rid of the carbon tax. Way to stick to your guns.

In a shorter timeframe I would agree that a big name would be the way to go but the NDP have almost three years until the next election so they can pick pretty much anyone and the critical piece is selling them, the party and policy to Albertans. A big name likely won't win them the election on it's own and an otherwise unknown also won't lose them the election at this point. If they do a crappy job over the two years with their new leader than they are doomed.
