Maybe it's not such a bad thing that they haven't been around for decades learning how to do things the way they are being done now. Maybe change doesn't have to be scary. People say that they hate politicians and the way the big government machine isn't working, nothing will never change if we keep voting in the same idiots.
As a side note I doubt seriously that the Wildrose will form government but 30 seats would be a good start.

This is basically the expected response. I just differ with you here though. Its one thing to come from humble beginnings and get elected as an MLA. Its a whole other situation when you're looking at people to actually form government though. Perhaps a great example of this was Barb Higgins in the mayoralty campaign; most people would agree that had she run for Alderman that she would've won easily. She had no real experience for the job though and consequently (along with other issues) she was lambasted for that.
Change for the sake of change is what we're talking about here. Its a combination of no experience and then mixed with some PCs who jumped early because they didn't love Stelmach and what he was doing. Thats hardly a recipe for success.
