There's really only one choice on that entire list you can be 100% sure they won't blame it on (third from the bottom).

*If* the NDP fail to form government yet again....I suspect they will blame the Green Party.
They will say that Weaver was a Liberal plant. Weaver will be accused of splitting the left....securing the Liberals another four years.

The only thing you can take to the bank, is that they won't take blame for it themselves.

Les Déplorables and their petty instinct for self-preservation.

If the Liberals lose, they'll have no one to blame but themselves.

Absolutely right.

The Liberals have screwed up, royally!
Vote splitting often gets what you did not want.

The NDP has the best chance to form a new government.

I'm not fan of Hulk Horgan and the NDP, but they will in all likelihood win the election. Their odds of winning is at 90%. By contrast, Hillary Clinton only had a 70% chance of winning in the USA.

Like any political party they will blame everything with exception to what the real reason happens to be.
I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

One possible outcome, and not a farfetched one, is that the NDP will win the popular vote but lose the election. If you look at the Mainstreet post-debate poll those not in the Lower Mainland or on Vancouver Island said the Christy Clark won the debate. The Liberals are very low on Vancouver Island and in some Lower Mainland ridings and so it may be that the NDP vote isn't all that efficient. I read an article by a pollster the other day who said that such a scenario is plausible and I'm thinking it just might happen. So, if it does the NDP will blame the system. And the Liberals, the Conservatives, the media, corporations, and everyone but the NDP.

The Conservatives are running 3 candidates, and they're in safe seat ridings, so if the NDP blames them, they have officially been reduced to severe joke status.

That already happened many years ago.

After the last election one NDP poster on here blamed the collapse of the Conservative vote on the NDP loss. He didn't blame the NDP at all, just the Conservatives.
