Yeah, what did people think the former governor of the bank of England would do?

Exactly, he campaigned as a 90s Liberal, we get a 90s-style Liberal leader and he did crib PP's notes directly in his 2025 campaign.

I have said about Harris in the US election that she will listen to a progressive chorus of voices, if they speak up in unison, to steer her in the right direction, whereas Trump gives no fucks about anyone else.

Similarly I don't regret my Liberal vote to avoid PP, but I will support Mr. Lewis' message and write my MP regularly, because it will percolate to the Liberals in one way or the other.

And I invite people to look at this thread to see where the NDP was even before the election was called. Mr. Singh there was trying to campaign towards the centre, in sort of Kamala Harris style. No wonder they lost out on SW Ontario and Vancouver Island vote-splits. With all due respect, I'm noticing recently people are retconning what was happening and making fanfiction in their head on what the NDP could have been at the time.

That last point is so important. If everyone who went independent in the 2024 US election voted dem, the world would have been spared trump. Regardless of your principles, you can't argue Trump is the better result with a straight face.
