The Conservative's got power because the Liberal party has basically been withering away since Jean Cretchen, 2004 being the transition point. The Liberal party had withered away enough by the latest election to allow the conservatives get a majority government this time. Furthermore, the left's vote is split between the NDP & Liberal parties, while the Conservative party united into one party to better capture the right wing vote. If the NDP & Liberals were one party, the election would of gone to that party. Maybe in a decade or two, the NDP & Liberals will merge and Canada will have our own version of Democrat vs Republican. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Canada#Realignment:_Conservatives_in_power https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_of_Canada#Realignment...
