ANDP started the year with only 16000 members. The majority of this was in Edmonton. There was a five fold increase in membership since Nenshi announced his candidacy and now Calgary has almost 40K members in Calgary. It should be more than enough from Calgary alone. 500 votes "shouldn't" really factor in with those ratios. ANDP is also a Calgary dominated party now by membership, Calgary has a 46% ownership of membership.
