Love the comment from Swann stating that Alberta could use more opposition parties. Guessing he realizes the only way the Liberals will ever move forward is to have someone else steal the vote from the Tories. Though he is completely deluded if he thinks the by-election shows voters are moving "both ways" away from the Tories.

The Liberals are definitely only treading water in a changing political landscape. But really, what do you want him to say? He can't very well say "yeah, we have no identity and no message and are pretty much down to just our hardcore supporters." That would be a huge indictment of his own leadership.

Not that it wouldn't be deserved, but it has to come from someone else within the party.
