With Mulcair at the NDP helm and Rae leading the Liberals would there be a merger? Mulcair denies it but both have mused about "uniting progressives" and so has Jean Chretien. With a former provincial Liberal heading the NDP and a former provincial Dipper running the Liberals I'm guessing the idea would get serious consideration. But we'll just have to wait and see.
If it happened the new, merged party would need a new name. I'm betting it would be the "Liberal Democratic Party". Both get to keep their names, the oldest party's name comes first, "NDP" is promoted two letters in the alphabet and finally gets rid of the worn out "New". You heard it here first.

NDP and Libs have connected in unity through the Coalition Agreement and although both parties don't appear in public with hands clasped you can bet your bottom dollar that they work very closely together-too close to know that bills that the libs would normally vote for and not the NDP are in fact voting with the NDP.
The fact that the mule said no merger last night when interviewed by the CBC, is an admission that there will be a merger.
Quebecers expect their native son politician's to lie, as long as the lie is in english and is intended for the listening ears of the ROC.
Very very true Joseph.
They're already merged in theory,as the both hate PM Harper,and that's all that's required.
Poor Rae. The media will now drop him to focus on Mulcair.
I just saw a poll result on Lilley's BYLINE last Friday. Roughly 49% of Canadians think an NDP government would be good for the country. Ouch! Where does that leave the Liberals?
If the 2 parties merge, turn out the lights for Harper and the Conservatives.
'If the 2 parties merge, turn out the lights for Harper and the Conservatives'
really? you really think every liberal will allow themselves to be assimilated by a radical far left party? highly unlikely
