There are still plenty of Albertans that support socially right wing polices. Even some that go further to the right than the current PC view.
I think the whole "Alberta moving to the left" crap is a little overblown.
Despite the influx of new voters, a Premier who was basically a lame duck leader and did numerous things to piss off and alienate voters and no real possible successor in site the Tories kicked the crap out of the other two major parties, if they can be considered major or even parties, in the province.
Federally the province overwhelmingly supports the major right wing party, electing them in 28 of 28 ridings in the last election.
It doesn't even address the fact that really the provincial, and Federal liberals, are hardly a left wing leaning party anymore and any move to support them should not be looked at as a ideological shift in the province.
