This is by far the biggest issue for the WRP at this point.

Fortunately for them, I doubt the PC will elect someone that is 'right' enough that it will severely cannibalize the WRP base.

The more right they get though, I think it creates a good situation for Alberta. If PCs promote a fiscal conservative to leadership it forces both parties to put forth a detail oriented platform that isn't based on vague generalities like "trim the fat and inefficiencies" or the social conservative boogeyman.
