Well that dynamic would certainly change if there were any Alberta caucus members. It goes two ways. Albertans turned their back on a party and the party turned their back on them, in whatever order you want to argue happened.
Problem with Alberta is that it's a fast growing, affluent, cosmopolitan province with significant social, economic and environmental issues that it must face. The provincial political mono-culture is arguably not in the best interest of the province and by voting, as a block for the same politicians and ideology each and every time necessary political debate, compromise and new ideas are being eschewed away.
I'm not saying that a vote for the Liberals will change all of this. But the province is also not doing itself any favours by rigidly clinging to a one party state.
