The real question that I see is, can Singh bring the NDP into second,  or third place.   With Jack Layton the party gained prominence. With (grumpy) Tom Mulcair the party became the "Opposition", and was on track, well before October 19th, 2015, to become the party in government....Singh is colourful, but not a leader.  The next federal election promises change, the difference simply, will the NDP be second or third ?
