Isn't that an assumption? Ideally they were elected because they represented the ideas that the majority of constituents felt were most important. Though in practice I'd guess most people do vote for the party rather than the person, but I blame that on the system.
I have less of an issue with the crossings themselves, I have more of an issue with almost no opposition, but that's nothing new in Alberta.
What I really want to know is what the quote was from Smith I heard on the radio.. something like it's the opposition's job to take out the government, to take out the Premier, and she didn't want to take out this Premier, was that it? The quote sounded like a 4 second soundbyte that summed the whole problem with her.
