On the other hand, its nice to know the PCs can get away with almost a decade of ridiculous policies without having to be accountable simply because Albertans are scared of a supposed fringe part of the WR Party being more social conservative than they like.

Perhaps those social issues are important to Albertans?
Also, WRP supporters seem to put a great deal of stock in the fact that the WRP hasn't made any "governing errors" (in contrast to the Progressive Conservatives.) Unfortunately for the WRP, this alone is not particularly persuasive. Indeed, the WRP shares this bragging point with every party in Alberta (except of course the Progressive Conservatives. )
