The NDP also went up against an extremely weak and not well liked candidate. If the UCP can perhaps follow up with a strong, middle of the road leader, does the NDP really hold a chance in forming government?
It's the hockey analogy of the NDP putting up a lot of goals into the net vs a weak goalie and still losing.
How does the NDP get more seats in Calgary and another 10-15 seats in rural Alberta without a vote split? The idea should be to form a majority government for a long time. A minority NDP government for 22 months or a another short lived 4 year mandate won't get what a lot of NDP and left learning supporters want done.

First off, is that your way of saying you support the UCP? And second, wtf good is a "strong opposition"? They have zero say over anything. All they can do is point out how stupid you'd have to be to support the UCP. And how well does that work? No, no, we are all ####ed. What's another 40 years of one party rule? I'm sure this time they won't piss it all away.
