Indeed. And to borrow off your earlier question about the direction the Conservatives take, the same is true of the NDP. I suspect a lot of the NDP's hardline supporters are going to look at this election as a rejection of the idea of moving towards the centre. The NDP is probably going to snap back to the loonie left out of this.
And to answer your earlier question, the direction the Conservatives go will depend on the leader. And while he has already said he won't run now, getting a guy like Brad Wall to jump up to the federal level would push the party forward.
