Can the New Democrats win the next Alberta provincial election?
OK, crazy thought. I was only kidding… I think.
But let's consider another crazy question that, nevertheless, is not quite so crazy: Can the Alberta New Democrats form the Opposition in the next provincial election, and maybe a government an election or two after that.
Impossible, you say? Maybe not if New Democrats can crawl out of the irrelevant protest-party box they've been sleeping in these past few years. No more impossible, at any rate, than New Democrats forming the government of Nova Scotia, or winning the hearts of well over 40 per cent of federal voters in Quebec.
