Given that the people behind Wildrose are the people behind the federal Conservatives (Flannagan), there may be similar levels of non-cooperation between Wildrose and PC as there where between the federal Conservatives and Liberals. In that scenario, the balance of power does indeed go to the provincial NDP/Libs/AP.

A little bit of foolishness, a lot of first-past-the-post distorting the will of the electorate.
