It's now the cities which are the big battle ground. If the PCs keep Edmonton (which I don't think they'll sweep), it'll come down to who takes Calgary. Even then the PCs to form a minority or a Majority need an almost full sweep of Calgary to win, which I think will be difficult at best. I have a feeling we're heading for a Minority WildRose Government on the 23rd. |
Yeah I don't think the PCs have the math to get any sort of government, minority or majority. I'll be curious to see the Wildrose approach if they get a minority. Will they look to force an election the first chance they get? Or will they actually try and work with the other parties? One thing that stuck to me at the end of the televised debate was Danielle almost pleading for a majority government. Makes me wonder if they'll have any interest working with others.
