That is not true. A large number of LPC voters are right/center, right. Impossible to say what percentage of course, but the NDP has never really been able to expand their base, even when the LPC has been struggling. That would suggest that there aren't all that many left/center voters in the LPC.

Which is, of course, not true looking back to 2011. The NDP gathered 30% of the popular vote, directly benefitting from the struggles of the LPC who fell to 18%.
While I agree that you can't just lump the Liberals into the left, when they fail, they lose significant numbers to the NDP. "There aren't all that many left/center voters in the LPC" is an incorrect statement.
