NDP is more socialist than the Conservatives - but they are not some ultra socialist fringe part.
The pain was magnified by the threat of a royalty review. Months of uncertainty, followed by stating they aren't changing anything until 2017. More working capital would have remained in the province, without said uncertainty.

There would have been layoffs regardless of party elected, and I don't think anyone is arguing that here.
