Somewhat, but I think even the disaffected are likely to hold their noses and vote for the new PCWR two-headed monster to get the NDP out. I would.

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 ;-)

You had me until "Slava the leader".
Seriously though, I like Greg Clark a lot. He just makes a ton of sense. What you're describing is basically what I want to see, and what I think a lot of people in this province want to vote for. It's just weird that there is no such viable option.
