Many people considering leaving now are seeing the writing on the wall. 53% of voters voted for Danielle ####ing Smith. Like, really? Look at her track record! Look at the crap she said for decades on her talk show! Look at the leaders of TBA - all home schooled religious wingbats!
The people seriously consider leaving are looking at this party's attempts to make this Province more republican, more american, and more divisive, and the voters are latching on to those ideas - I've been called a commie, debt lover, antifa, Environmental wingnut for the mere fact that I'm a centrist who voted for an orange party.
Do we think this is going to change in 4 years? do you think the UCP is going to become more rational? Nah.

I've said this twice now and it's been ignored. I can't count the number of elections where my candidate lost before this year. What I do know is it's been 100%. And the party I voted for got in once, in 2015, and was one term. At no time did I ever say I felt like leaving. This time around, my candidate actually won. But the movement of the UCP to the courting of nutty ant-science/Trumpism/DeSantisism/dogwhistle politics supporters has me doubtful of the future, not just for 4 years but for a long long time.
No other UCP/PC leader has threatened health care, education, social services and federalism as much as this one. And Kenney had already gone a long way in that regard.
