The Liberals out-flanked the NDP on the left in the last election.  They couldn't win on policy with Ignatieff and Dion  as leaders, so instead the party was hijacked by an empty-headed pretty boy with a flair for dramatic-but-empty rhetoric and selfies.    Don't kid yourself....there are a lot of Liberals who are cringing with what they've got these days. They surely didn't want Harper's Conservatives, but they aren't overly happy with what they've got either.
