These are people that have been in the political game for ages, so it's not that they're naive.

They also believe that after that majority, we wouldn't see another Conservative party in power for the next 10 - 20 years.
And that's why you wouldn't see the predicting rise of social conservatism - because the tories would want to remain in power and by pushing their social agenda too hard that wouldn't happen.

I don't doubt that the people felt genuinely that way, or suggest their naive, but if they are working for the NDP campaign - they have a pretty clear bias.
