I'm not a Liberal so I don't know if they are panicking or not when their leader is throwing in the towel with a week left.

The Liberal party has no delusion that they could form the next government of Alberta. Everyone in the province knows this. What they can do is hold the balance of power. Holding a cabinet seat is probably part of any deal which allows that. It allows Raj to hold onto aspects of what he might think is the most important part of his campaign and gives him (and his party) some credibility during the next election.
A very possible outcome if the WRP wins a majority is the PC party dying a horrible death the next election, especially if the Liberals manage to hold the balance of power and show that they are capeable.
