The Liberals got badly pummelled in the election.

What's even more telling is



She got half the votes of a somewhat racist religiohs based wack job party candidate.

The NDP is rapidly sliding back into fringe party territory both federally and provincially.

Federally because they bounced a very good common sense leader in Mulcair so they can replace him with the typical Federal NDP lunatics and hippies.

Provincially very bad, because this is a message to Notley that she actually has to start listening to people that aren't trade unionists and environmentalists and actually start working for the province and its people instead of against it because of her you know, Poliltical theory.
This wasn't exactly unexpected though. Cardston-Taber-Warner is basically the bible belt. For the PC's (before the Wildrose came along) that was perhaps the safest riding in the entire province, which was basically chock full of safe ridings.

So yeah, the LPC didn't win. They also put up a really good showing for them though (the highest percentage of the vote in decades south of Calgary). There were never going to win that riding though.
