Losing access to care. Feeling that the UCP does not represent them anymore etc.
With Notley they feel there is at least some stability.
I am voting NDP for the first time in my life too. The health care system needs to be boosted. Education needs to stop being Americanized. I wont like a lot of what they do but I value Education and Health Care first and foremost. We can not let those things erode.

This is exactly me and my inner circle. I am 70+ and cannot stand what the Conservative party has become...and having Smith at the helm is my worst nightmare.
Also, I have no use for the ranking system they use to elect their leaders. I know it is used by most parties but what we are getting for Conservative parties, both federally and provincially, are leaders who everybody sort of likes a little bit but who nobody really likes at all.
It started when Jim Dinning was running for the leadership...someone who in my opinion who would have made a great Premier...but who got in...good old Ed Stelmach...a nice enough man but not someone who made a good Premier. Then we got Alison Redford...worse than Stelmach...and then Prentice who had the audacity to say, "look in the mirror", and who got booted out for those comments.
And then Kenney, who tried to govern by appeasing everyone in the province, and who said after he resigned, that he should have governed according to what was the best option for the province...too late.
And now Smith...where does one begin? Worst option ever.
