It wouldn't be the first time a Liberal has taken a seat and we have seen repeatedly the enormous impact that that has had.
Voting for the WRA may not mean much to the PC's but it at least means as much as voting for a Liberal does. Both parties have about as much power and relevance in provincial politics and adding one more MLA from either party doesn't effect the PC's at all.

I think that it has an effect for sure. Last time when the Liberals took Elbow Calgary suddenly got representation in the cabinet and more resources began to be focused here. The campaign for the Tories to re-take this riding wasn't exactly a landslide and they pushed very hard to make that happen.
My point is that the WRA winning the seat is a pure protest vote. Its no more impactful than the greens winning the seat, or an independent.
