Either way, it means squat since we have a FPTP system. The UCP will have their victory and a resounding one at that with seat counts, which is highly unfortunate, even if they fall far short of the majority of Albertans who voted in this election.

CP polls are fun, but not scientific samples of likely voters—or even of CP posters. They shouldn’t be taken as predictive. It is kind of interesting to see how the people who choose to participate in our polls compare to the electorate as a whole, but it isn’t anything more than that.
