    that tone is rather inflammatory. See my other post for more details but bottom line is that governing party was elected by about 30%-ish of population and they (UCP) intentionally promote more, shall we say, extreme (or, “uneducated” as you say) portion of the electorate. So painting entire AB with one brush is the same form of uneducated rant you’ve accused Albertans of. They are (like the rest of the country) trapped in FPP resulting in… this. And every party that grabs the power immediately abandons idea of changing to proportional representation because they know they are not majority despite the appearances.
