Wildrose has its own, well discussed problems. That leaves a large gap of people from centre-right to centre-left looking for a place to go. The Liberals may as well just fold up shop, and Clark/AB Party don't have the name recognition yet.
That leaves a large section of the population open to a return to the PCs. Find the right leader, and the PCs storm back to retake government pretty easily, imnsho.

Too many government employees had enough with PC MLAs and Ministers throwing the bureaucrats under the bus when the contreversial decisions were made by the political staff.
It was done. The question was what party would the votes go to
