Indeed. Outside of Edmonton, "the right" occupies 70-85% of the vote in most ridings. Vote splitting won't send Liberals or NDP through any more than strategic voting will ensure a PC candidate defeats the WR. There just isn't enough support to make it happen. It would impact only isolated ridings - like Kent Hehr's if his internal polling is to be believed.
