And rightly so

The NDP's Leadership Planning Committee has addressed one of the bigger concerns with Dwain Lingenfelter's Meadow Lake membership purchases, declaring that all 1,100 questioned memberships will be pulled rather than allowing individuals to be contacted to sign up after the membership deadline.

Which means that the questioned memberships themselves shouldn't have any impact on the leadership race. But it remains to be seen whether Lingenfelter's campaign will face any difficulty keeping its actual party base of support intact in the aftermath of the incident. And the longer it takes for the remaining issues to get dealt with, the more painful the result figures to be for a front-runner who already seems to have lost any air of invincibility.
