As a fellow Canadian I couldn't agree more with the political sentiment. I like the NDP although I liked them more under Layton, but I think the NDP and Liberal party are just not different enough to demand two parties. Especially with how our political system works, and the fact that there is one right-wing party. I hate the idea that the two left wing parties could potentially get a huge majority of the popular vote, but because of how our ridings are set up they could lose.

The new NDP guy is ok, but he's not Jack Layton. I like Justin and I think his heart is in the right place. Both parties are controlled by Old Guardists who cannot imagine adjusting their perception of the parties to include the other.

You and I could unite the left, but it would take every minute of every day for the next five years at least, maybe less of our personal time with an effective committee of about 50,000.
