There most certainly will be more defections if the polls remain the way they do. The PCs needed to eject Stelmach back in the fall if they really wanted to stem the tide. One thing is clear to me: one way or another the premier at the end of the next election will not be Ed Stelmach.

Also laughable that Morton pulls the old "A vote for the WRA is a vote for the Liberals" arguement out the woodwork. In reality if you're the less popular of the two parties in the polls technically it should read "A vote for the PCs is a vote for the Liberals." If right-wing voters are really worried about more Liberal seats they should push even harder en-masse for the WRA and kill off the PCs '1993 Federal Election' style. The longer the PCs are a force the better the chances Liberal candidates will have in urban ridings.
