May 2022: Jason Kenney gets 51.4% support in leadership review. He resigns.
October 2022: Danielle Smith wins UCP leadership on sixth round of voting with 53.8% of the ballots.
May 2023: UCP wins election with 52.6% of the popular vote.

What went wrong? Alberta NDPs blow their best shot in election

Alberta elections, historically, tend to be blowouts. Not many close contests.
The seat margin in this year's vote is the smallest there's ever been. (11 seats separate government & official opposition, if you include Jennifer Johnson with the UCP; 10 seats if you don't.)

459 followers · 18480 posts · Server mamot.fr@chad @Azih On #CBCRadio #TheCurrent this morning, they claim that the #UCP won many ridings with very narrow pluralities ("1300 votes would have made the difference") but that they beat the NDP in popular vote by a much larger margin. #ProportionalRepresentation might not have given the result you desire.
You should also consider what the results would have been with #PreferentialVoting .

Everyone needs to chill out about these early election results lol
There are 10,000 ballots cast so far, out of about 2 million to likely come, and they are mostly from advance, mobile & special ballots.
In a bunch of riding, there has been a *single vote* counted.
To call it early would be a major understatement.

With the current Alberta election expected to be decided in Calgary...
Here's a look back at the vote share in Calgary ridings over the past four elections.

'Essentially, UCP supporters told Vote Compass they don't trust Smith all that much, but they're still going to vote for her.
Increasingly, party identification — not policy preferences or concerns about trustworthiness — matters more in politics.
It's become "my party, no matter what" for many partisans.'
