I do strongly disagree with you, unless your telling me that in the last election, the three parties were running under one banner, and they had a pre-disposed vote splitting strategy.
Out of that 54% percent that voted for the left party, what percentage of each would have no interest in voting for their party if they knew that their party was going to hop into bed with the Libs? the NDP? or the Bloc?
You could also turn it around and say that 74% of Canadians didn't vote for the Libs, 82% didn't vote for the NDp, 90% didn't vote of the block and only 42% didn't vote for the Conservatives.
