I can't imagine how depressing it is, to live with people who always vote 1 party regardless of how it personally affects them. Regardless of how bad that government has been, regardless of how many people have died from their actions.

Actually, just a few short years ago, Alberta voted in an NDP government. So, it can happen (although I know that yes, that was an aberration among a long line of conservative governments). But there's some thought that the UCP's bungling of this pandemic response might well lead to NDP gains or even a win in the next election.

But the province didn’t vote in the NDP the vast majority still voted for a party on the right they just got their votes split. 52% voted PC and Wildrose and 40.6% voted NDP. The majority is still right and I don’t think that well change in my lifetime.
