It would not surprise me to see the NDP win close to half the Edmonton seats (or more), due to the personal popularity of a couple of their MLAs, but also due to:
a) the return of the left wing vote to left wing parties (and not Redford). Libs are not a practical option here.; and
b) the splitting of the right wing vote between the PCs and WR.
I think the overwhelming majority of left wing votes in Edmonton swing to the NDP away from the Libs and Alberta Party if the election were called today.

I don't think any reasonable person can call the PC party 'right wing' anymore.
There are 3 fiscally liberal and 1 fiscally conservative party in Alberta. Socially I think all of them are pretty centrist.
