all logic suggests that if the ndp are experiencing growth, it should be at the expense of the liberals, in some combination - in conjunction with undecideds and greens perhaps, and conservatives if it's strong, but there should be some swing, there.
but, the liberals are actually up.
there's a big swing from the undecideds, and a small swing from the conservatives and from the greens. who are the liberals pulling from, then?
i'm actually not surprised about the numbers in bc - i expected them to hold some seats there, unless the greens really picked up momentum, and they haven't. i've made this point explicitly; the spectrum is different in bc, and the ndp are broadly seen differently, there. they might even have a base there, which they don't even have in saskatchewan any more.
but, even this looks phony.
i think they're going to be disappointed, in the end.
the liberals are supposed to do better than this
