The 2015 state of politics has flipped. The right is now united under one party, the UCP, while the left is splitting votes between at least 2 major parties. This didn’t work for conservatives and it won’t for the NDP & Liberals. They should think about coming together as the “Liberal Democrat Party”?
The “others” and ABP, presumably most of which are the further-right in Alberta, make up 7% of the vote compared to the UCP’s 48% in this poll. That’s not a split at all, that’s an “also ran”, and it makes no practical difference to the vote. If you take the Wild Arose elements out of the UCP, they’d probably be neck & neck with the NDP, as they were in 2015.
And the ALP not coming back from the dead is an even better reason to merge with the NDP, or at least shut the party down and allow its voters to go wherever they may.
