      Question: Can Alberta be described as a functioning democracy?

      @HeerJeet 1) it is. It goes through same motions of other western democracies. There are no political structural impediments to oppositions.

      @HeerJeet 4) the WildRose became a serious party because for a moment the PCs lost bourgeois, who shifted financial support in protest.

      @HeerJeet 6) the main current opposition from centre-left count on urban cultural elite for support, limiting appeal out of major cities

      @HeerJeet 9) this is standard in Alberta: governing party stays in power by seeing what appeals to electorate in opposition and takes it.

      @HeerJeet 11) while gerrymandering occurs, it is not to US levels yet, and PCs routinely get largest share of popular vote.

      @ephraim_quin What you are not considering is demoralizing effect of no changes in gov't. Alberta has very low turnout, no?

      @HeerJeet @ephraim_quin Turnout was higher in the last AB election than in the last ON election

      @bartbeaty @ephraim_quin Last election was uniquely competitive in Alberta. New merger will end that.

          @HeerJeet maybe. Ontario's last election was uniquely competitive too, and its turn out sucked.

          @ephraim_quin When have I said Ontario has a functioning democracy?
