"For years, the New Democrats have been berating the Harper Conservatives, while chiding the Liberals periodically and unmercifully for propping up the government. The NDP even has a list of the number of times the Liberals voted with the government...Yet, what have we here? All of a sudden, the NDP, faced with the prospect of an election - and the possibility (probability) of losing seats - is sounding conciliatory and sniffing around for a possible deal with those awful Conservatives, the very strategy for which the NDP gleefully excoriated the Liberals month after month after month. No wonder the voluble Mr. Layton suddenly grew quiet."

Why would the NDP lose seats in an election this Fall? I've never seen that properly explained.
What would be more relevant would be a criticism of something the NDP has actually done, not a criticism based on a columnist reading the tea leaves between the lines of some comments.
