Ideally I would like to see this result on April 23:
1. WRA minority, with PC's holding the balance of power. That will probably force the PCs a bit fiscally right of where they are now and allow the government to become more fiscally responsible, while keeping anything on a social conservative or overly libertarian agenda in the background. It would also hand the arrogant PC's a much needed message that they need to re-tool.
A slightly less desirable result, although probably still good would be:
2. PC minority, with WRA holding the balance of power. That might accomplish some of the same goals as the above, albeit I don't trust Redford the social engineer very much. I also think this result would do much less to remove the sense of entitlement the PC's have obviously been overcome with lately because they still would have won the election.
A much less desirable result would be as follows:
3. PC majority. Still probably the most likely result. Nothing would change and our fiscal woes will likely get incrementaly worse.
A disater would be:
4. PC minority with left wing parties NDP/Libs together able to hold the balance of power despite any gains by WRA. The government would likely go straight to the fiscal left (moreso than right now). A sales tax would be almost guaranteed. Spending would become more out of control than it already is and much of Redford's social engineering would likely go through without anything more than token opposition.
I have not analyzed a WRA majority, because I don't think it is possible.
