The do-gooders in the Alberta Conservative Party did not want to make waves and so pit their muscle behind a man who, even at the time he was elected, was regarded as of limited ability. They got what they paid for. It is always bad for conservatives to try to liberalise their policies/positions. They only ever end up alienating their core followers and advancing policies that they have claimed, and frequently are, bankrupt.
