If the Liberals wind up in 3rd place, they've already gone way past the disaster point. 4 leaders in 7 years, the loss of their two remaining bases of support (Toronto and Montreal) mean that the LPC has some serious considerations regarding its future.
The CPC meanwhile can only be invigorated by a defeat to the socialists in this election.
