Meanwhile, NDP leader Tom Mulcair turned in a competent performance but one that didn’t differ greatly from any he delivered in the previous four debates, which is to say a performance that was far from anything that would have jarred supporters thinking about jumping off the Orange bandwagon into changing their minds about doing so. It’s obvious, though, that that day will in all likelihood come sooner under certain electoral scenarios rather than others.

That’s not an anti-Green comment, it’s a straightforward political analysis of the challenge facing any fourth or fifth party anywhere in the world. “The Liberals need 100″, the post reads.
