Well my friend Id bet ya an even $10 on that offer. As the population of Alberta grows and the urban centres get larger, the tendancy of the population/voters becomes more Liberal. That will be born of a few things...the middle finger of P.E.T. will be forgotten by future generations along with his Governments decision on Oil royalties. More people will move west from Eastern Cities...with them they will bring their political ideals, and unless youve been asleep over the last few decades, youll notice thats "mostly" Liberal.
Now this is being simplistic for the most part, their will be other determining factors involved, but I think that the Liberals will take power in Alberta with a leader that is more dynamic....Bronconnier or not. Eventually that leader will step up and with a choice of voting for a dynamic person or Stelmach there will be change.
The Wildrose Party, Socreds, Alliance, and any other Conservative party who wants a piece of the pie, no matter how far right, will only do one thing...suck votes away from the mainstream Conservatives, allowing a change. The same thing happened federally when Alberta's Reform Party led by the preacher, Preston Manning, sucked votes away for years. It was a dream made in political heaven for the National Liberals....not to mention the idiocy of the Reform/Alliance themselves. When you align yourself to one side of the spectrum you will always alienate someone else and they will either create issues for you by being vocal about it, or simply make their own plans as Reggie mentioned above.
