That's actually my theory for why voter turnout was so low for the last election. I think a lot of people that stayed home were people who wanted to vote Liberal but were tired of the party's antics and didn't like the leader.

Despite their poor election results, I still see them as a sleeping giant if they can motivate more people to vote. Not going to happen with Dion, or if they force an election though. They should have waited before pulling this crap.
