Still, I'll admit it, the chances of me voting NDP is slim to none, and its because of them. They would probably be better than the UCP next time around, but I'll be looking for alternatives more in line with my own values. The NDP really skated through their last madate despite making many mistakes (I can't believe the PPA fiasco seems to have gone by them without much outrage). So many mistakes, largely due to many crappy candidates. I do expect they'll be better the second time around and it looks like they may form the next government. The UCP leadership contest is going to be the biggest wildcard going forward.

You keep saying that, but all you ever bring up is the PPAs.
Please expand on the "so many mistakes".
Cause from where I stand, overall the NDP did a pretty good job, with a few mistakes. The UCP on the other hand are a list of mistakes, with the occasional win, which is usually the result of reversing a previous terrible decision.
