Look in the mirror. Yes, you in the NDP.

Your campaign didn’t work. People weren’t listening. You were told and the NDP sympathizers in the self-styled smart set were told.

People weren’t listening.

This vote is a slap in the face to all those, including many in the out-of-touch chattering classes, who misread what Albertans wanted.

You in the NDP thought it was far better to make the campaign about sliming Jason Kenney than talking about your plan and what you would do.

Until it was too late.

Even on decision day your supporters talked about Albertans voting United Conservative enabling hate and bigotry, racism and homophobia.

And why not?

After all, the premier said Kenney hung out with extremists and wanted to out gay kids.

The NDP said Kenney lied and Kenney cheated and Kenney couldn’t be trusted and Kenney was heartless and Kenney was a sexist and Kenney wasn’t fit to be premier.

The highest volume from the NDP didn’t come from saying Kenney had the wrong ideas. He was not a political opponent. He was a bad man.
