There's a reason that Mike and Mike aren't liberals. They would in fact, be very bad at it. At a minimum, they would be marginalized within the party.
Whatever you think about the Liberals (and the green party--at least federally is often guilty too) they are a lot of time "fake progressives". In that they talk a good game about issues, but their actions are aggressively moderate and strongly establishment. We saw this with electoral reform. They talked a lot about it, but when it came to it, were unwilling to make any changes that would actually change the status quo.
