I asked this question to two liberal supporters last night (not gonna lie, I don't know many). One said they'd definitely vote conservative over a liberal-lead coalition that included the Bloc. The other waivered and wasn't sure what she'd do.

If the NDP and Liberals were able to form a coaltion and have a majority, I can see their supporters being ok with it. But I think you're underestimating the opposition that many liberal supporters would/do have towards a seperatist party being part of the deal.
