That is quite the chart, but the Reform Party was able to suck support away from the PCs so efficiently in a way I don't think exists for the Liberals, currently. Pretty much all the Reform gains from their surge came at the PCs expense, which was very notable in Liberal seats won outside of the GTA in Ontario and across the prairies. I don't see the NDP in a position where they're going to have the same kind of surge.
Chretien and the Liberals also got that big 'attack ad' boost at the end after the shift was happening.
