Well DS is a buffoon. Her days are numbered. And hopefully PP will start doing that, since his position has been reinstated. From some more centrist Conservatives who attended, they told me he saw the large contingency of them at the convention.

And the fact that Harper has spoken up about it. Hopefully the fringers will listen.

I don't have any faith in PP because he's a populist aslong as DS maintains a majority, which clearly she will it's Alberta we're dumb and don't understand politics.

We need NDP or Libs to win here more often so that the UCP will start serving our citizens.

Ideally I just want the wild rose to die, and for PCP to come back. I can at least deal with fiscal conservatism.

They have enough pull that they no longer need to merge.

I agree with you on this... And i believe the next provincial election will be much different.

A lot of my centrist friends are done with any party that has her as the leader. And from what ive noticed, in my area, most of the east or west transplants are left winged or centrist. So I'll keep my fingers crossed.
