  • Alberta 2008 Provincial Election As Analyzed with PRP a Comparison of the First-Past-The-Post Results to PRP Results
    ELECTORALCHANGE.CA Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP A comparison of the first-past-the-post results to PRP results Dave Brekke and Ted Dean 9/1/2013 A compilation of the results of the 2008 Alberta provincial election compared to the results of PRP electoral system results using the same election data. Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP Summary To acquire proportional seats without adding seats, two adjacent ridings were made into one riding with the assistance of Alberta friend, Larry MacKillop. Eight-two ridings became forty-one ridings plus forty one proportional seats. The proportional seats helped reach a closer match between votes of political parties and seats won by them. Ten electoral areas were established to give relative closeness to proportionally elected MLAs and the voters who helped to elect them. Each electoral area had four, six, eight or ten MLAs, half representing ridings and half representing their electoral area. For electoral area results, see below. For more on how this system would work and other election results go to www.electoralchange.ca . The Riding of West Yellowhead is not included in this analysis to allow for an even number of ridings. That riding stays its present size, has preferential voting, but will not be in a proportional electoral area. 1 Alberta 2008 Provincial Election as Analyzed With PRP General Comparison of Systems on Alberta 2008 Provincial Election Results All Seat Groupings 10 Seats or Less Political Party PC Liberal NDP Wildrose Green Other Popular

The Progressive Conservatives are defending Bill 36 and the Alberta Land Stewardship Act and the Wildrose are campaigning to repeal it along with other bills. I do not believe this is on the urban voter’ s radar but since Keith Wilson toured rural Alberta a year or so ago it has become a hot button issue in the country. Keith Wilson, a lawyer, has the opinion that Bill 36 will compromise landholder rights. Our family is transitioning to the fifth generation on a farm west of High River on the Highwood River. We hold grazing leases, a forestry grazing allotment, water license for irrigation and mineral rights. I was a member of the regional advisory council for the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan along with sixteen other Southern Albertans. We were tasked with creating recommendations for the South Saskatchewan Regional Plan which falls under the provincial Land Use Framework and would be governed by Bill 36.
