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. )
