__NOEDITSECTION__
This is page shows results of Canadian federal elections in the province of Alberta outside the Calgary and Edmonton areas.
==Regional profile==
Rural Alberta is far and away the most conservative region in Canada. For most of the last 80 years, the major right-wing party of the day has won all or most of the ridings here, often by astronomical margins. The Conservative Party of Canada has kept this tradition going, winning every riding in this region by some of the largest margins in the nation, making rural Alberta easily the least competitive region in the country. This was always the power base for the former Reform and Canadian Alliance parties from 1993 to 2000, and before then the former Progressive Conservative Party swept every riding here from 1972 to 1993. Social Credit was birthed in rural Alberta, and for many years was either the first or second party in much of the region. Some ridings in this area were previously friendly to Red Tories, but since the 1990s the entire region has turned in a more fiscal and social conservative direction. For example, former prime minister Joe Clark represented the riding of Yellowhead and its predecessor, Rocky Mountain, from 1972 to 1993 during his first tenure in parliament, but ran in (and won) the comparatively less conservative seat of Calgary Centre during his comeback to politics in 2000.
Much of this area has not been represented by a centre-left MP in recent memory; for instance, Lethbridge has been represented solely by right-wing MPs since 1930. The Liberals have been completely shut out in rural Alberta since 1972, and have been barely on the radar screen here for most of the time since then. As evidence of the antipathy much of the region has for the Liberals, Jack Horner crossed the floor in 1977 to join the Liberals, only to be soundly defeated when he ran for reelection in Crowfoot as a Liberal in 1979. He was also resoundingly defeated when he tried to regain the riding in 1980. In recent elections the Liberals have drawn their lowest percentage of votes ever; they are usually lucky to draw more than 20 percent of the vote, and in some ridings (Crowfoot and Yellowhead) they have attracted less than three percent. The New Democratic Party has also had poor results. In fact, the Green Party finished second in Wild Rose in 2006. The NDP surge in 2011 affected this region--in 2011 the NDP finished second in all of the ridings.
