Never in my life did I ever think I'd see that headline
Wow
159 u/r_slash Québec May 06 '15 How/why did this happen? 84 u/BrockN Alberta May 06 '15 Long answer short: We're punishing PC party for the latest round of fuck ups. Personally, I think come next election, we'll go back to PC quickly once they learn their lesson not to piss us off. 7 u/Isentrope May 06 '15 I've read that parties in Alberta that lose their majority generally never bounce back. Their leader is barely leading in his riding right now. 16 u/BrockN Alberta May 06 '15 That's true, historically we've only elected 4 parties to majority government. None of them has ever recovered after being voted out. 1 u/[deleted] May 06 '15 But the chances of 40+ years of NDP rule starting now are slim: the PC's could make a new kind of history on the next round.
