I just think this would be more relevant if the NDP were doing 2015 numbers. In this election there isn't that much excitement around them and there’s probably not a whole ton of people torn between the NDP and voting strategically.

2011 was a special case with how godawful the Liberals were and how uniquely charismatic Jack Layton was. 2015 they were still polling over 20%, which could hold the balance of power and make this worth talking about.

Mostly it was a special case of Quebec thinking they would go along with the ROC, and waking up the next morning to realize it was all a fever dream and that the ROC, as usual, wasn't on the same page.
