I will admit to having held a PC membership in the past. Historically in much of Alberta if you wanted your vote to count the only way to do that was to buy a PC membership and vote in their nomination contests.

As for my post that you quoted, I am not suggesting that the majority of the WAP supporters have migrated from the NDP, I am just questioning why it is an issue. I can't imagine any new party forming that didn't draw its supporters from from existing parties and in Alberta we have had only one party dominate for the last 40 years. I would find it odd if a party gained popularity without attracting members from the PC's and don't see the problem with that.
As for the differences between the WRA and the PC's I think they are quite clear although I am not sure if I can post anything to convince someone to change their vote from Liberal to Wildrose.
