For a province supposedly upset with how it was being run, it certainly did not show in the polls.

Clearly Notley and the NDP did not appeal enough despite Smith being worst possible premier.

Voter apathy reigned when supposedly the province was angry. Don't blame UCP voters, when they practiced their democratic vote. Blame the non-voters who would rather sit and moan than doing something about their government (especially in an election were a vote did matter in many instances)
IIRC it was the 2nd highest turnout ever? And the weakest majority gov't ever...and actually the highest ever number and proportion of votes ever for the NDP.
