The PCs could run a rock as leader in the next election and they'll beat the NDP. The only question is whether the crazies in the WRP win the election over the PCs. Form some sort of coalition, even if it means kicking out some lefties from the PCs, and they're guaranteed to win. NDPs will be an absolute non-factor in the next election.
