In their last government, they proved that they no longer have any major disagreements with the Tories. The voters of Canada do not want the country locked permanently into a right-wing austerity-based economic system, and the Liberals are still committed to locking Canada in to that.

There's no good reason for anyone who voted NDP last time to switch to the Liberals. Period.
