I would argue the Liberal Party of Alberta sits to the right of the PC's on the fiscal responsibility side of the political spectrum, while the NDP sits even further left than the PC's.

A merger would really just create the PC2 party, which in all likelihood is why you have seen both the Libs and NDP voter support collapsing over the past few years.
