That said, if you're Singh, you probably see a potential upside to being so heavily underestimated as he is right now.
Exactement. Singh is the devil they know, and so far he doesn't look like much of threat.

If you're a Liberal that's a lot better than him losing, getting the boot, which brings the risk of a Jack Layton 2.0 (unlikely but who knows - look at Doug Ford!) sailing right in and changing the election picture overnight.
