KenS Doubt it. Doesn't have to be a conspiracy. Most likely just some 30ish basement dweller, or two, screwing around with things between re-heated cans of Star Wars shaped Alphagetti

Mulcair has won.
But I expect him to take Topp's tax policy after his victory, much like Hollande took some of his colleagues ideas.
So, a fairer tax system wins the race anyways.
Cullen's not telling his supporters to support anyone and he's not telling who he's supporting.
Cullen is amazing. He wasn't my #1 but I'm very proud he's a New Democrat.
Topp says in a scrum that Mulcair wants to move to the centre, and if there are two Liberal Parties, people will vote for the real one.
Mulcair isn't making himself available for comment at all.
Topp is staying in so we will have a 4th ballot. That is unfortunate but it is his rite to do so.
Topp has to get something like 4 out of every five of Cullen's votes to capture Mulcair.
Mulcair needs just 25% of Cullen supporters to win the nomination. This is done. Topp might even drop out...
Oh shit. Topp is attacking Mulcair. For a brilliant political strategist, that's pretty stupid. It's over. IT'S OVER. 80% of the votes are already in the box. All this does is divide the party in two.
