Sure but there are a lot of factors. Everyone knew Prentice would win. People are not terribly excited when it's a known outcome. Surely some of the decline is peoples disillusionment with the party as well. But I believe that there is also a factor of people just disillusioned with politics in general. Both the Liberals and Wildrose had roughly 8000 people vote. The NDP has a leadership race right now, and I doubt they top that number. The Alberta Party had like 250 people out for their leadership a couple years ago. It just makes me wonder if numbers are down across the board?
