Note: as there have been few polls for the Alberta election, any riding-by-riding projections are highly unreliable. As such, I will not be providing projections for the Alberta election. My apologies for the inconvenience. DemocraticSPACE will re-launch for the up-coming federal election.

oh dear.
Well I’m projecting the following:
PC - 50
Lib - 26
NDP - 4
WA - 2
Green - 1
Well Nick , I wish you had been right.
Another election that demonstrates why our electoral system desperately needs reform. I don’t begrudge the tories their majority, given that they did get over half the votes cast. But the margin of victory is ludicrous given that close to half of Albertans preferred another party.
Plus there is the issue of yet another record low turnout. I dunno what happened to the libs and NDP in Edmonton this time. Liberal vote held up pretty well in Calgary with 3 holds and a gain.
How optimistically wrong were you.
What does it mean to project?? Really?! It totally sucks that Paul Hinman was practically dead last - well, he WAS dead last in the election!!
