8. It's the Liberals who need to facilitate that merging, by getting out of the way

There simply isn't any reason for the Liberals to nominate candidates anywhere in the next Canadian federal election-or, at the very least, they should settle for contesting the seats they currently hold. They will never be popular again in the Prairies or B.C., they've collapsed in Quebec, and they're on the ropes in Atlantic Canada(a.k.a.,The Artist Formerly Known As "The Maritimes&quot .

The large group of left-of-center voters who used to vote Liberal because "the NDP can't win", now knows they don't have to settle for the Liberals(a party that just barely disagrees with the Tories on anything and has no sympathy for working people or the poor)any longer.

What's the point of the Liberal Party continuing to exist anymore?
