We're asking the current leadership to give up their positions of power

I think the situation we are currently in, where the governing party who has a reasonably functional working relationship with another party, and seems likely to lose big to a conservative party who has historically shown that they won't cooperate with anyone else.

Electoral reform before the next election might be in the best interests of both the Liberals and NDP at this moment in time, if they believe can get enough votes between them to be able to form an actual coalition and keep the conservatives out of power.
