Thanks OO.

Well if my calculations are correct, although the NDP came 3rd in Kenora, the NDP was only 17% behind the winner, whereas in Edmonton East, although the NDP came 2nd, the NDP was 20% behind the winner there.  

I'm continuing to add to the list and will do a little revision as I previously omitted Vancouver Centre.

All the NDP needs to do in the next election is HOLD onto its current 37 seats, and WIN 20 seats from the Libs, and the NDP will form the Official Opposition.

Looking at the stats, it seems that the NDP, apart from HOLDING the 37 seats it currently holds, needs to start organizing to WIN in the following seats, and the number one Liberal seat to target is Gatineau.

Another good strategy is the "buddy" system, whereby each sitting NDP MP is responsible for two ridings, their own, and the closest one to them designated by the NDP's chief organizer.
