Alberta General Election - May 5th, 2015

[Tender Branson]

My prediction (out of the hat):

38% NDP (46 seats)
26% PC (18 seats)
24% WR (20 seats)
  6% LIB (2 seats)
  4% AP (1 seat)
  2% Others

Turnout: 58%

Can some Canadian etc. please explain to me in 3-5 short sentences what happened and why ?

I always thought Alberta is the Canadian Utah or Wyoming and now this NDP-surge. It's as if a Green Party governor won the election in UT or WY.

Also, this was my prediction:

How did I do and where can someone find results ?

Thx.

Thanks, Max.

It looks I nailed the WR percentage and seats and was closer to the other results than what Canadian pollsters predicted ...

What was turnout ?

And why did the NPD gain that much in such a right-wing stronghold ?

I think I should do more Canadian election predictions ...
