So what is Mulcair doing? Will he seriously try to stay on as leader?

Party has made clear that Mulcair can stay if he wants. There's a leadership review next spring, but he'd cruise.

Has Mulcair made it clear he wants to stay on?

He hasn't said anything yet. Everyone speaking on and off the record is saying he can stay and anyone who pushes will be "quite publicly slapped." Considering who lost, there aren't many surviving contenders. The precedent might be Howard Hampton, who got squashed by flash polarization in 1999 and 2003 but stayed as leader until 2009.

Well, Hampton had to deal with Bob Rae's catastrophic legacy, so probably nobody expected him to do better. Mulcair was dealt the best hand imaginable and completely blew it.

Anyway, I guess you're right that there's nobody left to replace him...

Does BQ have any capable leader to replace him with? Is it likely that this election could be for them what 1997 was for the PCs? Wishful thinking, I know... Tongue

The next election where the Francophone vote consolidates behind a single federalist party will also be the election where the Bloc is finally wiped out, I wouldn't call that wishful thinking.

You're saying this as if it's bound to happen... For all we know, Québec could remain split 4-way for tbe next 50 years... Tongue

Would be ironic since another Trudeau rejected that idea when first mooted 40-odd years ago.

Hey, if Andrew Cuomo and Evan Bayh can piss on their fathers' legacies, I don't see why Justin couldn't improve on his.

Good. It's time the NDP returns to its progressive roots.

More ridiculous propaganda about the 1812 war, I presume.

Predicting the outcome of an election 4 years before is always a terrible idea.

Could QS become a serious competitor? That would be great.
