Except that such logic assumes there's limits to the "subtractability" of the PC vote; or even that said vote is a monolith unaffected by subtractability. You have to remember that the 2018 PC vote was in many respects "conditional"; plus, if the PCs sink to somewhere t/w the 30% range, it's actually immaterial beyond a matter of specific seats whether the Libs "completely destroy" the NDP or not (or vice versa, for that matter).But keep good notes, have your strategy ready to go, and build your allies and war chest of cash. We are about one year plus a month away from the mandatory June 2, 2022 election date. The Liberals need a plan to both completely destroy the NDP and take away some PC seats. If the Libs only manage to split the non-PC vote between themselves and the NDP, the winner of this is Ford. Of course there is the chance that the PCs throw Ford out before June 2022.
For the PCs, it might be a death by a thousand cuts--and the weird nature of the Ford coalition (or the 2018 vote shake-out at large) might mean the cuts could be inflicted by Libs *and* NDP *and* Green *and* some yet-unspecified Hillierista dissident faction. It's not just a matter of letting the PC's 40% share be and piling on top of it...
