Alberta general election, 2012

24 hours. I'm voting Wildrose, obviously.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Redford as a tactical vote, unless I lived in Edmonton, which I wouldn't want to.

[DC Al Fine]

I'm voting Wildrose, obviously.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Hold my nose and vote PC.

[Hatman 🍁]

Hold my nose and vote PC.

And yet the NDP is winning this poll.

I suppose he means IRL

I would probably vote PC, but would need to know more about their environmental policies, this is the main issue that could get me to go further left. I would likely vote NDP if I couldn't vote PC, since I generally don't like the moderate hero positions of the Grits. I am left on some issues and right on others, but rarely bland centrist on everything as they tend to be.

Unless I'm mistaken, the NDP have been competing for moderate hero status of late. Although I presume the Albertan NDP leans left simply because it's so irrelevant it has to attract some support.

NDP are populist and pro-land rights. Liberals are real moderate heros, hell their leader is a former PC.

[TNF]

NDP, no question.

Poll should probably've included the Alberta Party.

I think the environment is probably the most right wing issue the Tories have in Alberta, as they're a pretty moderate party under Redford... but once you start going after the resource industry, you're in trouble in Saudi Oilberta.

OK, I suspected that might be the case, but was too lazy to look it up . It would be a dealbreaker for me, but otherwise PC seems like the kind of conservative party I could support.

[politicallefty]

One of a very few rare instances where I would've voted for a party with "Conservative" in their name (meaning Redford's Progressive Conservatives). Otherwise, I would've voted for whoever was stronger on the left between the Liberals and NDP. Basically, it'd be a tactical vote to keep the Wildrose Party out of power.
