Granted, but this same factor would play to the PC's favour if the right wing - which has traditionally represented over 60% of the voters - were to fear that re-electing Notely is a legitimate threat. So you'd see Wildrose voters and economically harmed centrists falling back under the familiar umbrella.

One thing that 2012 left panic did accomplish though was to eliminate the Liberals as a going concern.
