It seems kind of hard to imagine right now, however.
Never happen for the NDP, in order for them to get anywhere near a minority they would have to get rid of their platform and sell their soul and adopt a moderate middle ground platform. They're not going to do that ever. They realize that they'll never be anything more then a third place alternative for the labour unions and the poor, and they're completely content fullfilling that need.
