So apparently, at the beginning of the 1997 Canadian Election campaign, the Liberals were expected to win in a landslide, with 59.8% to 73.0% of seats. As it turned out, not only did they not win in a landslide, they actually lost seats and very nearly lost their majority. My question is, what would have happened if they did win in that landslide? Would the creation of the Tory party be sped up? Would Martin's leadership ambitions be checked, causing Chretien to serve longer then he did? And, since I assume Manning would resign after a loss like that, who replaces him as Leader?
