yeah I know but if you want your leader to have some exposure it helps to have him sit at the commons. I really doubt they'd name an unelected leader unless someone really popular comes out of nowhere and runs for it.

I agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of the people from the ridings that typically go NDP run for leadership - when the vote isn't splitting could easily lead to more NDP seats and the leader getting back into the commons. And we could always get special elections triggered if some ridings are really unhappy with their NDP representative going conservative.

Its not like its helping much, I'm thinking it moves from the ~7 or so people who were elected this year to a pool of ~12-15 of people who are consistently elected outside of the very special circumstances of this election.
