Problem for the Liberals is that they are direct competitors with the NDP for a heck of a lot of their vote. If they put Mulcair in the PM seat and prop up the government they legitimize the NDP. They have been preaching that voting NDP is a wasted vote for a long time now. I would suspect that given the choice the Liberal Party would rather fight Harper as PM and remain a viable replacement option than they would support Mulcair as PM and render themselves irrelevant.
