Let me try to follow this "logic."

1. Singh shouldn't attack PP's record, regardless of how bad it is and how bad he thinks a CPC government, because the NDP can't attract CPC voters.

2. The NDP is floundering in Quebec, and therefore Singh should not try to siphon off of votes from one of the parties in Quebec.

3. Singh should only be going after the Liberals, but he shouldn't point out that some of the more popular policies the Liberals are adopted over the last few years were because the NDP forced their hands

In summary, Singh shouldn't advocate for what he thinks is best for Canadians. He should only be trying to siphon off votes from the Liberals, but he shouldn't do that by pointing to the things that the NDP were effective at forcing the Liberals to do.

Do I have all of that "objective analysis" correct?

EDIT: I'd also dispute your claim that Singh is a great speaker. He does well in casual settings, but he's always had a habit of tripping over his words and seems generally nervous in debate settings. Obviously just my opinion.
