Default PREDICTIONS: 2015 Provincial Elections

This thread is only for your bold predictions of the 2015 Provincial Elections. No discussion, please, as we have a separate thread for that. Closest predictions' authors will get the bragging rights.

My prediction:

  • 36 seats PC
  • 27 seats WR
  • 23 seats NDP
  • 1 seat Lib

(Total should be 87 seats)

Let's go!

P.S. I know it's gonna look odd, because I've just edited my post to add this, but no post edits are allowed. If you wanna change your prediction it's fine, just write a new post.

PC minority win. My brain hurts today (its Friday) so no seat projections.

I'm going with the PC minority win as well with a Wildrose opposition (although WR and NDP could be close).

NDP 24-29 (sweep EDM's 19+5-10 extra)
Lib 2-4
WR and PC will split the rest each getting between 25-31 seats.

No matter who's the winner, that party will be a slim minority.

I predict Prentice will tender his resignation right after the election and another election will be called in 2 years time.

By that time Albertans will be done with their romanticism with NDP.

NPD minority. A slim enough minority that WR and PC will be able to run the show.

NDP 38
PC 26
WRP 21
LIB 1
AP 1

NDP runs a surprisingly effective government, working with the WRP primarily in order to pass a lot of the accountability measures that both parties agree on, conceding some government cutbacks (particularly at the managerial level), and slightly increasing corporate taxes for big business to 11%. Neither the WRP or the PC feel that they have enough of an upper-hand to force an election for 3-4 years.

At this point I'm not sure that the PC's can recover their vote enough to win. Their support, as the old saying goes, is a mile wide and an inch deep. The NDP are so far ahead in Edm that it's hard to imagine them not taking pretty much every seat, that's a big head start. This is the strangest AB election in my memory.

NDP 36
WR 25
PC 23
LIB 2
AP 1

Hard to guess what that massive group of undecideds will do.

At this point, I would guess
NDP - 37
PC - 30.5
WRA - 16
LIB - 3
AP - 0.5

I have no idea who wins between Dirks and Clark.

No one has predicted a majority yet so I am going to go out on a limb and call a PC majority.
PC 45 seats
NDP 22 seats
WRA 18 seats
Liberals 1 seat
AP 1 seat
