The one thing I'll say, I'm still happy to have the leader of this province being decided in a contested general election. I think it's much healthier to have "blue tories" and "red tories" battling it out in a public general election where the province decides than in a leadership contest where backroom alliances and runoff votes end up with everyone's second choice becoming premier. The last few elections haven't been contested in a way where watching the results surprised anyone, and it makes it more exciting and makes politics more relevant to the population.
