I believe that there will be a backlash against the PC's for this floor crossing. While it probably won't effect the actual seat distribution in the Legislature. It will be seen in terms of the popular vote. The Liberal's and NDP might see a increase in their voter base not their seat base.

The Wildrose will probably keep the seats that they currently have and might actually gain some seats if the voters decide to punish the floor crosses. But the next election is about the Wildrose establishing a post Smith base.

I'm going to be watching Smith's seat with a great deal of interest.
