I guess I will point out the obvious in voting percentage then, you would think the combined UCP would get a lower percentage of the vote than before with some disgruntled PC's bleeding off to the ND's, instead the bleed came from the ND's. If the UCP can hold both the PC and WR vote in other riding the ND's will be wiped out just about everyvhere.
