Lord knows how the election will shake out. None of us are precognitive, after all. If the above scenario proves to be true, though, Hudak will be gone and it's possible Horwath might not last, either.
That means new leaders and directions for Opposition Parties, a definite good thing for the Liberals - in the short term. If this happens and a minority Liberal government follows the proper political playbook, we'd end up with a snap election while the Opposition is in disarray.
Just imagine how much fun that campaign would be.
There is an alternative, however - unlikely, even fanciful, but worth considering.
If our Political Parties decided to build their brands by acting like governments, not partisans, they could do this crazy thing called collaboration; find some common ground, key issues that they can agree upon and focus on doing the heavy lifting that is vital for the recovery of our economy and the strengthening of our weakening social fabric.
Of course, it'd be hard to see that happen if we weren't prepared to support the process, proactivley.
Are we ready for collaborative change? Are we ready to be part of the solution rather than prognosticators of the problems?
If hope is on the way, it won't land upon us from without - it will be nurtured from within.
