You really underestimate the incompetence of the provincial party.

When the majority of Albertans lived in farms and towns like Brooks (just as an example) that case would hold true.
Alberta is now run by the cities, in that environment a rebranded Liberal party could easily force a minority. The Tories ignore the cities and pay them menial lip service as they use tax revenue from the cities to fund rural pet projects.
Its sickening. The WRC might be able to do it if they were to shift slightly left of the PC, but a tax crazy Danielle Smith isnt going to do that. She will preech less taxes and try to turn Alberta into Florida. We dont want that - we also dont want downtown Robson street - we want a comprimise - a rebranded Liberal party with no ties to the old Liberal party could do that - or if you want to be crazy a possible merger of the Liberal party and WRC - although mergers rarely work.
