Maybe if he stepped down and took all the former Reform guys with him, they may have a chance.
It's also going to be interesting how the Liberals and NDP work together going into election, if it comes to that. If they continue the coalition and agree to attempt to avoid vote-splitting by not running against one-another in currently Tory ridings, that could have a huge effect. Even if you account for some lost support as a result of this coalition, that effect would be more than compensated for by such an alliance. It's more likely that they won't have such a formal alliance, but it's got to be something they consider.
