I agree. What ever number they get, it will be just a shadow of what they got under Layton and it is totally self-inflicted.
They will get decimated in nearly all areas of the country and lose all their hard fought gains in Quebec overnight. Even their traditional strongholds of Ontario and BC are withering away as the Liberals have moved further left and the notion of getting the labour vote because the union head tells you to are fading very fast.
Now in a desperate bid to appeal to ethnic voters they elect a Sikh. Being a Sikh is NOT appealing to most immigrants. The vast majority of our immigrants are from China, Philippines, and Hindus from India most of whom would never vote for a Sikh. For non-immigrants it's not so much he is a Sikh but rather that he openly displays his religious beliefs. The NDP's complete hypocrisy is glaring. If a Conservative were to carry around a bible, say a few "Hail Marys", or kiss a rosary the NDP would go ballistic.
