Honestly, even that would never work--the geographic base isn't wide enough. You need to have your vote situated relatively evenly across the province, otherwise the best case scenario is sweeping the city and inner suburbs, and finding yourself as the official opposition.

A better plan is to figure out a way to make a center-right (i.e. Liberal) platform appealing to rural Albertans.
