What they won last night was opportunity. The opportunity to show they can be a legitimate governing alternative with a broad spectrum of support.
Now we get to see if they can hold that opportunity, or if they will piss it away.

NDP won big in Quebec, now they have limited influence and have lost power.
Really the only thing the NDP managed to do was to secure a Majority for Harper.
When the next election occurs, I would bet NDP will ultimately loss seats to the Liberals.
With so many new seats in Quebec it will be difficult to manage that aspect.
