I don't know that I agree that it's impossible for the UCP to change course, especially if they lose this election. But I think it's probably easier to fix what's wrong with the NDP at this point than to fix what's wrong with the UCP, from the perspective of creating a mostly centrist option that represents the majority of Albertans, while ignoring the extremes.
