Apparently the voters have bigger concerns than 355 million... I don't believe it is simply rhetoric that is preventing them from voting other than Liberal...
People are pissed to be sure. The Liberals will feel the sting of their actions in Quebec. I predict they loose many of the 21 seats they hold in Quebec. Until Gomery is done we don't really know how far up the scandal goes (i.e. what did Martin know) or if it touches Liberals outside of Quebec (this is important in Ontario).
Until the Conservatives can mount a truly national party you can forget about them getting anything more than a weak minority. I say weak because who will support them? The Liberals? The NDP? The Bloc?
If they win a minority I would count on a new election as soon as the Liberals can elect a new leader and clean house... 18 months, tops.
