New Democrats: United Progressive

The Canadian Press Dept: Murray says she believes Liberals, New Democrats and Greens should have the option of conducting run-off nominations to choose a single candidate in tightly contested ridings where a united progressive front would guarantee defeat of the ruling Tories, according to CTV. One of the things that I bring is just the full spectrum of the Canadian experience, the 58-year-old told The Canadian Press in an interview shortly before officially announcing her leadership campaign on Monday and oTTAWA -- Vancouver MP Joyce Murray is joining the federal Liberal leadership contest with a daring call for co-operation with other progressive parties in the next election to ensure defeat of Stephen Harper's Conservatives. She is the first contender to broach the controversial idea, which is consistent with her broader pitch that she is a collaborative politician who brings unique perspectives and attributes to the race.
