The only argument that makes sense is a strong Liberal party will enact policies better for NDP voters, but that would come at the expense of them actually getting votes.
So they'd become an altruistic martyr for the cause.

How is it not helpful? I am not talking about the Liberals coming away with a majority and telling the NDP to go away, it’s better for the NDP to keep whatever leverage they can maintain. They’re toast if we see CPC form government next election. I am talking about the NDP being in a better position if the Liberal Party manages another minority, if they shed Trudeau. Course the Bloc makes an interesting wildcard in all of this.
