But at the end of the day there are fringe so called progressives that will shift their votes with their wallets. The soccer mom vote will shift if little johnny's mom or dad is tossed out of work because of this government.
That's where the shift in play is going to be.
Right now the core group of NDP supporters are the unions and their workers because they're riding the gravy train, but outside of that I think that the rest of the voters will be pretty fluid.

Well I kind of thought the way I stated it indicated it was more of a prediction on my part than something I considered to be factual. I've pretty much stated that I think the NDP's fate is likely tied to the economy, but I think you're underestimating just how much the left and centre-left dislike Kenney, especially those that follow politics. I'm also skeptical that he'll be able to merge the PCs and WR. Why would Jean step down and why would the WR merge if they continue to lead the PCs by a fair margin after the leadership is decided? There are going to be a tonne of egos involved on both sides.
