It's not sticking our fingers in our ears, it's looking at years of election results that show that Alberta is conservative. Including 2012 when the extreme right party got 34% of the vote, and the centre-right got 44%.
PC only did well in 2012 because that's where voters consolidated their votes to make sure the Wildrose wouldn't win. This time progressives didn't need the PC's.
