Politics is like relationships, the true test comes in times of adversity, and in that regard, the NDP have shown they are unable or unwilling to control government spending.
What makes you think they'd be willing/able to control their spending, even with a booming economy? or, are you just thinking increased taxes/royalties would be able to outrun their spending?
The one thing I think we can all agree on, a booming economy would have been a better time to conduct a royalty review, increase taxes, phase out coal, impose a carbon tax... trying to do all of those things at the onset of the downturn only exasperated Alberta's/Albertans struggles and all but assured the NDP would not have a booming economy to work with.
