It's not much of an assumption. Many if not most of the Wildrose supporters were made up of ex-PC supporters who'd had enough of the PC's. People who voted for them purely based on their platform were still not wanting the PC's. Personally I don't have a problem with most of the PC's policies and generally like Prentice but feel that the party needs a purge of the backroom rot, cronyism and corruption that accumulates after decades in power.
