Maybe you were not paying attention last election but a bunch of the former Progressive Conservative members are now backing the NDP. Allan Warrack, Ron Ghitter, and Lee Richardson were all out in support of the NDP because of how far the UCP has fallen away from the values of the PC party of old.
In short, the UCP is the Wildrose party but now tainted by a much worse Take Back Alberta movement. Most "progressive conservatives" do not like what the UCP/Wildrose stands for. Most people do not like openly corrupt and incompetent governments.
It is really not a stretch to think that most educated and reasonable people would be against everything the UCP stands for.
Even if Farkas is 'conservative' that does not mean he would align with the party of corrupt grifting.
