Yes.
I am not a "conservative" but I voted for my MLA who is a UCP representative.
I just had a long conversations with him about Bill 18 and Bill 20 last night (he called me).
We did not agree on many parts. He listened to me rant and bitch about Smith and his party and he responded to those criticisms. I told him his party is being everything they hate about the Federal Liberals, which he didn't like. I didn't agree with him and said he is either being mislead by his own party or complicit in the bad legislation.
I told him I would wait and see the final wording when it reached the floor and he said he respected my opinion and would take my suggestions to how it should be better implemented or adjusted to be less authoritarian (my words).
And now I wait to see what comes of it (probably nothing).
He knows he is losing my support with some of these decisions. It may not truly register with him, but I choose to believe it might (he has taken my advice in the past on some other issues).

Although it does seem they are at least listening to us in some ways.
