How do you figure that, maybe the centrists voted for them, the NDP got the strategic protest vote and the undecided and unionist left vote, and the Liberals got the die hard I won't vote for anyone but the Liberal vote and the dribbles from the scared of the NDP vote.
When you consider that the Conservatives biggest gains I believe were picked up in Ontario and especially the urban Ontario ridings that usually voted Liberal you have a fairly compelling argument that the Cons gathered a large portion of the centrist vote.\
A lot of the NDP gains in Quebec were gained at the expense of the Liberal's in the form of a we're sick of your party vote and the Bloc.
