This could easily go any way depending on the timing.
If the WRA start polling too high then I think you will see a bit of a pullback in their soft supporters going back to the PC's. At the same time we will surely see a huge collapse in the "blue" Liberal vote as they fully move into the PC camp.
Problem is then if the PC's numbers recover and it looks like another strong majority for them the Liberal vote could go back home and the vote of the disgusted Conservatives could leave them again.
I doubt either party wants to see big polling numbers in the first week or two.
