Singh just isn’t a winner. He doesn’t get good media spots, he doesn’t push the message of what he can do, he is less negative than Mulcair was, but he’s not inspiring and hopeful like Layton.
Actually the current situation is very similar to Layton’s time before the NDP exploded in popularity.
Ditto. Mulcair was quick on his feet and not at all a dummy. I’d have paid money to see him do an “On what date…” to various members of the Trudeau government.
He got branded as “angry Tom” by a media that really wanted a milquetoast centrist candidate, and he made the mistake of trying to tack right to get respect from said media, only to have Trudeau flank him on the left.
That’s the biggest thing they could do

I really thought Mulcair would have been a great Fed NDP leader, though: Smart, fast, and marketable.
