A Conservative federal government would create political headaches for the UCP.

Abacus Data’s latest polling has the federal Conservatives out to their biggest lead in over a decade. Unless there is a drastic change over the summer, Canadians ought to prepare for a Conservative majority at some point in the next year or so.

A change of government in Ottawa would have a major impact on provincial politics in Alberta. With no whipping boy or scapegoat in Ottawa, the provincial UCP would need to shift focus and even rebrand.

Congrats on having “experience in politics” (whatever that means), but it seems like you just used a lot of words to agree with me:

Trying to justify it with Machiavellian politics doesn’t change that simple fact.

No. That’s a completely reductivist take. They gave it a shot, the NDP were MMP or bust, the CPC got the others to agree to a referendum that they knew would fail. At that point the project was dead.
