There is a lot of celebration and glee here about the struggles of the Wildrose on this thread.
I am no longer involved with the party but I think they have done a great job in Alberta to date.
They may never be the ruling party but I think they have accomplished a lot as the official opposition and it would be a blow to Alberta politics if they disappeared from the picture completely or had their role reduced drastically.
The Liberals with 5 seats and the NDP with 4 don't get much of a budget and don't have as much money to spend on research (reading bills and getting professional opinions).
The PC's have backtracked on some really terrible ideas in the past five years or so after the Wildrose fought hard to highlight them.
I hate the social conservative aspect of the Wildrose party and hated the hyper vocal left wing types equally as much which is why I typically avoid these conversations.
