      @laurelrusswurm Do you really think Murray has a shot? She seems the best choice to me (but then, I'm an NPD guy)...

        @indi Absolutely; the more @joycemurray talks, the better she does because she's talking about something—its a 2 candidate race now !CDNpoli

      @laurelrusswurm ... and do you think her PR scheme is actually intended to extend beyond just the 2015 election?

        @indi I support Joyce Murray because she actually believes in Proportional Representation. People who believes in democracy generally do.

      @laurelrusswurm ... and if she wins, do you think it will be because of her PR idea, & not her environmental & left cooperation ideas?...

      @laurelrusswurm I don't mind Mulcair, BTW. He's a bulldog, but his job is to stand toe-to-toe with the nastiest of the nasties - the PC.

      @laurelrusswurm But AFAIK, Murray only plans PR for the 2015 vote, only to choose the LPC/Green/(NDP) candidate who runs against the PC.

      @laurelrusswurm If she plans any election reform beyond that, it's being buried in Trudeamania2 noise.

      @laurelrusswurm It would have been counterproductive to pick an idealist like Layton to hold back the PC as the opposition leader.

      @laurelrusswurm Quite true. But that's the system we have, and have to win in. At least until they get in and can change it (we hope).

      @laurelrusswurm Fingers crossed for Joyce Murray! If she wins, and is serious about PR, I might go LPC next election rather than NDP.
