I'm guessing you're ruling out a Conservative-Liberal coalition because you take your cues from the Conservative leadership.

The truth is that it would be the Liberals who would be kingmakers, as both the Conservatives and the NDP would be viable coalition partners for them. That is unless the Conservatives opt not to play ball, in which case they would have only themselves to blame, much like Tim Hudak in Ontario.
