It may be outlandish, but it's also not rare which is why I think it's baffling to a lot of us. Majority of people I know think that the UCP are still a bastion of financial responsibility, and they would never vote for the NDP "after what they did to ruin Alberta". All this DESPITE overwhelming evidence to the contrary, and I mean evidence almost every damn day. I also can't figure out how Alberta was ruined by the NDP, people complain more about their lives now than they did when UCP first started.
When I point out that the UCP is spending more than the NDP did.... the response is "ya, but they balanced the budget and have a surplus" or "well, it's just an election year, so of course".... none of those are good reasons for anything, and the first isn't even of their own doing. It's not like the were financially responsible to balance that budget.
