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.

I think what last night showed is that the true, diehard progressive vote probably sits at around 20% in this country, and there's maybe another soft-progressive/strategic-progressive bloc that sits around 10-15%.
