We already know that the NDP won't provide a voice for rural issues, no matter what Wall decides to do.

It sounded as if you were suggesting that rural voters elect represenatives specifically to oppose. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you, then.

It has only been under the helm of David Karwacki that Liberals have lost the rural support. Rural voters have in the past elected Liberals.

And I don't think the Sask Party will sweep urban ridings, but they won't go without picking up a few the Liberals and NDP don't get. How are you differing with me?

Given the unlikelihood of the Saskatchewan party sweeping urban Saskatchewan, the opposition will probably be coming from the cities. However, if I may remind you, a recent poll found 30% of Saskatchewan voters were either undecided, or not saying how they were going to vote. This election contest is <i>not</i> over.
