I would argue that the increase in NDP support increases the chances of a Conservative majority because it is bleeding mainly from the Bloc Quebecois and the Liberals. Conservative leader Harper is a very polarizing figure; he and his tactics are disliked by a majority of Canadians, a majority casting around for the best method to deny him a majority. But in Canada you vote only on the local level, not directly for the Prime Minister, who is normally but not always the leader of the party with the most seats, making each person's choice more complex. I include this worthwhile article whose author reaches a different conclusion from the same facts. Harper’s Savaging of Canadian Liberals Helps NDP Rise, Imperiling Majority bloomberg.com
