Conclusion

While it is likely the Wildrose will form the next government, the party will have a much more challenging time forming a coalition that can govern. The two options for the PCs are to form a coalition with the NDP or to run a minority government. Neither option is ideal for Albertans. The NDP would prove to be an ineffective opposition, and running a minority government would put the province in peril of having another snap election.
