Puts the Conservatives in a tough spot. Not to mention those are the right priorities anyway.

I'm not so sure someone can look at the results and just assume the Liberal and NDP coalition is what makes the most sense. This election signaled a general shift to the right including the near complete rejection of the NDP.
The Liberals themselves shifted right to maintain their centrist hold. People supported the Liberals with a new leader and a promised greater focus on the economy. An NDP coalition does not bode well for the Liberals at the next election IMO - it signals that they are in fact the same party that people largely rejected a few months ago.
