They might now, but the PCs wont, and frankly, if Wildrose wins next time, they wont then either. Unless they win, pass that referendum law, and Albertans themselves demand it.

Very surprised to see how poorly Wildrose did in the central and northern rural ridings. I would have expected several more seats up there, and more than twoish in Calgary. Ultimately not enough to win, but enough to put the breaks on Redford.
