If the Left was marginalized, they wouldn't have been able to wrest control from the right and be the winning party like they are right now.
You know the Liberals took the current office, right?
Which sounds good in words, but unfortunately they are bunch of incompetent monkeys.

I agree with a lot of his convictions, especially his devotion to showing no mercy against corruption in office.
But he also got some crazy outlandish ideas that sounds like it belongs in the looney bin.
He also makes boatloads of enemies.
So overall very mixed feelings.
