im no fan of the Crispy Crunch government, especially that mean-minded Social Services Minister Heather Stillwell. But as much as it would be fun to watch the Liberals get wiped out a la tory Kim Campbell 1993 Canada wide washout  or the ndp  Dosanjh bc wipeout of 2001...in actual fact the best thing for the NDP or any political party winning an election would be to have a healthy opposition both in terms of popular vote and members elected. A decent sized  healthy opposition keeps the government honest, on its toes. and not arrogant and full of itself, and thinking its got re-election in the bag.  Even better, for an opposition split between two or more competing parties, for   obvious reasons.
