Canadian Liberal Leadership Election 2013

[justfollowingtheelections]

I don't know much about Canadian politics, but I was wondering whether something happened after the most recent elections, or things are just returning to "normal".
What I mean by this is that the NDP was for the first time the 2nd biggest party and the Greens also did very well.
But when I was looking at the most recent polls, Trudeau, if he became the leader would be able to win the federal elections, by getting more than half the voters who went with the NDP in 2011.
Are these people simply "returning home"?
Has the NDP lost some of its appeal due to its leader's death?
Has the NDP done a bad job in the House?
Also what about the Greens?  Why are they losing voters to Trudeau?
Why is Trudeau so popular?  Is it his good looks, his father or something I am not aware of?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated!

So is the NDP expected to lose many of its voters because of Layton's death?

I'm not a fan, but that's our CF regime for ya. The spending limit is $900k, to put it in context.

$900k?  Sounds good to me!
