Party finished second ahead of the NDP in the Wild Rose riding in 2006. The NDP surged in 2011 across Alberta, including Wilrose. In 2011 the NDP finished second in all of the rural Alberta ridings. As a measure of how deeply conservative rural Alberta is, the Conservatives held their own in 2015 even as they were heavily defeated nationally. They took every riding with 60 percent or more of the vote, with centre-left parties only managing to crack the 20 percent mark in three ridings. However, support for the Conservatives was not universal; in all but three ridings, the NDP and Liberals together did crack the 20 percent mark, sometimes reaching past 30 percent. 2015 - 42nd General Election 2011 - 41st General Election 2008 - 40th General Election 2006 - 39th General Election 2004 - 38th General Election Fort McMurray-Athabasca Crowfoot Lethbridge Macleod Medicine Hat Peace River Red Deer Vegreville-Wainwright Westlock-St. Paul Wetaskiwin Wild Rose Yellowhead 2000 - 37th General Election Politics of Alberta Rural
