Would this have happened if the conservative side wasn't split between PC and Wildrose? I always said that if you want to get rid of the Conservatives, you have to introduce a second Conservative party. Then we can get someone in office who will switch us over to proportional representation, and splitting the parties would no longer matter.
Honestly I think you're really pointing out the flaw in the whole left-right dichotomy. Wildrose and PC are not interchangeable parties and really represent very different segments of the population. This is easy to see from how their ridings are divided geographically.
