Reality is JK's plan is to ditch the left 25% of the PC party (otherwise know as Liberals in any other province), and WR is going to have to lose 10-15% of their far right end......throw the two together with JK as leader, Derek as second in command, come up with a platform that is right of centre both socially and fiscally and you have a party that will pull in 40-45% of the vote in the province.
Reality is PC-leaning big city folk will never go all in with WR as they fear the right fringe of the WR, just as WR rural folks won't go all in with PC as they fear the left fringe of the PC party. The majority of AB is right-centre and that is where the big tent needs to focus. Let those on the left who took over the PC party drift back to the Libs/AB Party and those on the far right drift back to their traditional protest vote far right fringe parties.
