Yeah, but they had a collapse of epic proportions. If the PC's lose the provincial election, they will still be a *strong* opposition. - Subversive Apr 19, 20:54 4

  - Like I said, I agree with the principle of change. Just that this time, wishing for change is like not reading the fine print on the Monkey's Paw. -- nm - Reagen Apr 19, 20:59 2

      - Might have. :) - Reagen Apr 19, 21:06
Different scenario than AB. The NDP federally managed to retain its core throughout Chretien's run AND had provincial successes to build on. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 19, 20:54 1
- You are closer to these things than me, but my take is that the Liberals see themselves as the natural party of government. - Roger More Apr 19, 21:02
