Conservatives won despite Danielle Smith and her credibility issues. Thinking they would have won many more seats and made more inroads on Edmonton and Calgary if they had ran a more credible and a bit more centrist Candidate.
We don’t need a more centrist candidate leading the conservative party. We need a true blue conservative candidate for that job, and that’s what we’ve got. When are conservatives going to stop pandering to the center-left and realize that they are compromising their values to try and attract voters that are not likely to vote blue, anyway? Is the left trying to put centrist candidates forward? No, and they are proud of it. The lack of in-kind response from the right is responsible for the leftward creep we have witnessed over several decades.
