So 46% of the vote should have been plenty. I just need an explanation of how previous PC governments caused Prentice's support to drop from 46% to 27.8% in 3 months? If Albertans support a tough budget then wouldn't he have gained support? He seemed to think so with the early election call.
Albertans then chose the spending taps party to support instead of the tough budget party. How does eroding support from the previous decade account for this since you seem to imply that the spending is what caused the drop in support.
And to be clear I am under no impression the NDP can win again. Too many seats, especially in Calgary were won by the split-right vote, but I just can't see the narrative that it was previous governments that caused the failure when just 3 months prior to the election he was comfortably in the driver's seat with all that baggage already there.
