Alberta General Election - May 5th, 2015

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So I looked it up, the last time the Progressive Conservatives did not control Alberta was 1971. Whoa. This has potential to be quite historic. Not to mention also this would be equivalent to say electing a Democratic Governor of Idaho.

When do polls close? This one will actually be an interesting election worth watching...something we haven't had since the Scottish independence referendum.

Also I'm not too sure why defections would even be a question.

If you end up a result where PC seats + WR seats > NDP seats, then the PCs and WR can just form a coalition government. And if you end up with a result where PC vote + WR vote > NDP vote but NDP still wins a majority of seats thanks to FPTP, well then it's too late. Anything I'm missing?

This is going to make a great Downfall video.

I just realized: Does this now mean that Alberta has the most left wing government of any province?

Because if so...whoa.
