An early provincial election is about the craziest thing imaginable. Therefore, it could happen in Alberta.
The scenario would go like this, according to some conservative strategists who are tinkering with this possibility: In the May 18 UCP leadership review, Premier Jason Kenney carries a bare majority of, say, 51 to 55 per cent.
So, Kenney could play one last card. He orders quick nominations and then calls an election for mid-summer or early fall this year. The NDP is certainly talking and behaving as if an election could break out soon. The party has already nominated candidates in 20 of 87 ridings, with eight more coming in May and June.“We’ve been ramping up volunteer recruitment and adding urgency in our fundraising and we’ve definitely been working to speed up the pace of our candidate nominations.”
The government also remains low in the polls and has been thumped in fundraising by the NDP for most of the past 18 months. Kenney’s own approval“He would be saying, ‘Almost 50 per cent of my party doesn’t like me, so please elect me for four more years,'” says Vitor Marciano, spokesman for new MLA Brian Jean. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”
