Well I guess I meant bright as a viable party in Alberta. Considering how young they are that's all you can say. You are right, people might be leaning away from the conservative parties. But I don't believe that will happen very quickly if at all.
As well, they might look at their platform in the months to come and keep that fiscal conservative part, but really work on the socially conservative part and put themselves in a light where they look progressive as well.
Smith is safe though. I doubt anyone wants to get rid of her and I think it would be disastrous to the party if they did.
