What percentage of UCP members cast votes in this... My understanding is that only about 6% were given an opportunity to even vote. It is the most meaningless vote I have ever heard of... What exactly is 91.5 percent of 6%? Let me do the math for you... It is 5.49%. So less than 6 percent of UCP want to keep Marlaina Smith as premier...

"legitimacy"
lol
There is 123915 members in 2023 so probably more now. This was a pointless vote.
I think this leadership vote actually reveals something encouraging - namely, that the cadre of conservatives who feel that Danielle Smith isn't crazy enough, are not a significant segment of the UCP.
As someone who opposes far right politics, and, given all the unchangeable circumstances at hand, this result is actually something of a relief. Maybe a sign that consideration doesn't need to be paid to the TBA/1905 faction?
Would I be happier if Smith wasn't Premier, and that we didn't have to live through all the bogus shit she's putting into action? Yes. But I guess it could be much worse. A bitter, yet familiar comfort that left leaning AB citizens have known for decades now.
How long until the next election again?
