The configurations of political Parties in BC & Alberta are currently very similar (i.e. a centre & hard right coalition Party vs. a social democratic Party with the social democrats having a tenuous hold as Government).

We will have the interesting spectacle in each Province as the often conflicting factions (urban-rural, social conservative-libertarian-centrist, populist-establishment & regional) are courted by leadership aspirants, several of whom having little direct involvement in Provincial politics or face strong opposition from one or more of these conflicting factions.

The open question is whether the coalition Party can 

(a) avoid defections in light of its leadership contest & outcome, 

(b) whether the leader selected will be capable of rallying all the contending factions and the voters identifying with each faction, &

(c) convince voters it's ready to govern the Province.
