I'm in a pretty conservative part of Alberta, and the people who are socially conservative kind of stick out as being unusual. They are a minority among conservatives.

Generally I think the people who are hard-core followers of a particular ideology are the most likely to get actively engaged in politics and buy party memberships, so yes I think that is why the social conservatives hold disproportionate sway in Conservative Party leadership races.
