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. Well Nick , I wish you had been right.

They are often polling ahead of the Wildrose Alliance and has polled ahead, and has tied with the NDP in polls as well. The Wildrose Alliance are running 58 candidates- so why would they be projected ahead of the Greens, who as of today are running 81 candidates- just to short of a full slate? P.S- nice site Greg, what an improvement! Will you be covering the March 17th by-elections as well? The Greens are running 81 candidates as of today.
