Alberta 2012

Wildrose (no longer having Alliance in it's name) uses Green; and, the Green Party is illegal in Alberta.

Also, Redford, PC leader, would be a Liberal in places like BC, Ontario, or Quebec.

Wait wait what ?

It was deregistered after the last election for not doing some financial paperwork thingees

The UFA government tended to be relatively moderate, at least they were far more moderate than most Ginger UFA MPs who were clamouring for 'group government'.

Leger's Calgary sample seems too favourable to the PCs for me. I think most polls have confirmed that Calgary is now lean WR or something.

Has Alberta ever had a Liberal or NDP Premier before?

Alberta was a Liberal stronghold federally until 1917 and provincially until 1921. Pedants will argue that the NDP is the descendant of the UFA, which dominated provincial politics between 1921 and 1935.

Edmonton-Riverview is held by the Liberals, not the NDP.

I'm not sure Earl. Most comments on 308 are stupid mindless hacks who get into trite debates with other hacks, I haven't noticed a lot of more serious complaints about his predictions.

Anyhow, good luck with your predictions. I hope you do better than 308 so that you can prove that UNS/scientific/math-based predictions are stupid.

Albertans are useless liars. Or they're even more fickle than French people.

The FN in 1984 might be something like the Wildrose, but the FN in 2012 is clearly nothing like the Wildrose. The Wildrose is closer to the Droite populaire of the UMP if you're looking for an analogy, though the xenophobia of course isn't there.
