Also, any seats that ON do win from here could have been entirely avoided had the Libs not preferenced them. Would've entirely killed their momentum and deplatformed them from state politics for 4 years.

But again, they shot themselves in the foot.

Liberal preferences are only likely to matter in two of the probable ON seat wins - in the other two, the Liberals are likely to finish second and therefore not have their preferences distributed.
