With a possible agreement between Dion & May, perhaps all the talk of a“unite the left” movement is not so far fetched after all. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire, as the old saying goes.
Really, when you think about it, it’s got some merit.
The LPC is about to get annihilated in the general election we are now in. They are financially deep in debt and only plunging further down the trail, their campaign in the first week is plain boring, no policy bombshells, no huge grassroots movement underway for change, poor campaign leadership, while the CPC and Harper control the centre of the Board, and outside of a few stupid mistakes seem to be running a very well oiled machine.
The Greens and the NDP will for the foreseeable future always hold 3rd or 4th party status. Canadians just aren’t that far left. The NDP want to take your hard earned money and give it to everyone else, the Greens, regardless of what they say, are still a one issue party. Really? They’re the two friend you had in high school who were always so negative, the doom and gloom parties.
The LPC does not want to be the PC party of 1993. A merger between the three left leaning parties looks very likely to me if the LPC wants to live to fight another day.
