Sorry to interject again...
Layton wasn't "left"... better to have called him "centre-left"... he was responsible for taking any reference of "socialism" out of the NDP charter.
His centrist rhetoric, as well as the time, is what allowed the NDP to become the official opposition.
Layton was a good used-car salesman.
The NDP are no longer a "left-wing" party, they're decidedly centrist with liberal social policies.
