I could be wrong come the end of the night, but somehow I cannot see a 100-seat NDP. Possibly somewhere marginally above the 60-sea mark, but 100 seats would entail the complete destruction of 120 years of largely Liberal hegemony in Quebec.

If you want to see the NDP obliterated from the map politically and have everything go back to Conservative vs. Liberal than all you have to do is elect the NDP to a Majority government. It seems to have worked wonders in Ontario as the NDP has been reduced to third party status there ever since Rae got elected.
