So assuming that rather conservative Jason Kenney wins PC leadership and successfully merges with the Wildrose, one can assume it will disaffect more centrist PC members (this already seems to be happening).
What would people think of a unified "centre"? Bring disaffected PCs, the remnants of the old Liberal Party, Alberta Party and new/other classes of Albertans seeking good governance together. Create a new party that identifies with socially liberal/libertarian and moderate/fiscally conservative principles (think Peter Lougheed, Laurence Decore provincially or Paul Martin or Joe Clark federally) and create a very large tent centrist, pragmatic alternative. Notley and Kenney the ideologues, the new party where most Albertans are. Slava the leader ;-)
