I certainly hope that Libs take number 2 spot also, but Trudeau has already ruled out a coalition. If for some reason he changed his mind, a coalition government would offer some stability, but likely not move any bold policy forward. If the NDP won a minority, I wonder how their first budget would fare. If the Cons are decimated and leaderless, I doubt they'd vote it down. If the Libs vote it down, I think the resulting election would catapult the NDP into a majority, because of voter frustration.

If a minority NDP budget can pass, it'll likely be very watered down. And of course, there will be major discoveries of Conservative fraud, and economic mismanagement, but the NDP will still get blamed (by the opposition, establishment and media) in their first year for what will be a lingering weak economy.
