Liberals tease NDP votes by offering left-wing baubles and sometimes actual concessions.
They tease Conservative votes by offering balanced budgets and responsible spending.
After about 8 years on average, voters dump them and choose the Conservatives, or gives them a minority with the NDP. Then they put in a new face and the game goes on.
......
As for DoFo, Wynne is probably glad to have him as an opponent so she can pull out her fear-mongering and deplorables-blaming campaign, which will reduce the Liberals to single-digit seats, and negative poll numbers. That means people who aren't even polled will be added to the polls to say they will vote for anyone but Wynne.
Then DoFo, and either:
1) Keep Trumptario Beautiful
OR
2) "I will do whatever I need to, to stay up in the polls"
Hope for #2, because the people actually want something reasonable.
