UCP has majority only thanks to FPP. There's plenty Albertans who'd vote different but feel trapped between two parties (Liberals are a non-existent entity there). I can guarantee you that anecdotally and from pure math majority government of AB represents views of 30% of it's population, meaning 70% did not vote for tham. And of those 30% representation only a very vocal minority is driving separatist talk... We can all thank FPP for that.

fun fact: Conservatives use preferential elections internally 🤔

Seems odd. To be consistent, they should jail opposition candidates and stuff ballot boxes and murder traitorous opposition to the one true leader. I propose a new model : The Thunderdome. Two go in, one comes out, until the leader is chosen.
