How horribly depressing.
I hope they end up next time losing all but two of their seats, like in 1993.

1. That only happened cause of vote splitting on the right.
And the the "they" was the PCs. Reform, the other party on the right won 52 seats.

The minimum number of seats I can see that Harper Tories winning if they lose by a large margin next time is 80 to 100.

2. I think their arrogance will eventually do them in.
There will be buyer's remorse shortly. Plus, a majority of Canadians didn't vote for them.

3. A majority has never voted for anybody
A majority of those that choose to vote haven't voted for one party since 1984 PCs. 38-40% of the vote is enough to get a majority of seats.
