The Progressive Conservative of Peter Lougheed broke the 36-year hegemony on Alberta politics of the Social Credit Party. Harry E. Strom, who followed Ernest C. Manning as Social Credit leader and premier, had been unable to revive what was seen as a tired regime. Peter Lougheed had significant momentum going into the 1971 election, benefiting from two floor crossings, and winning two by-elections he had ten seats at dissolution, four more then when he started in 1967.

Although Social Credit lost only a small share of the popular vote, the collapse of the other opposition parties allowed the PC Party to present a credible challenge. Lougheed, with 46% of the popular vote, won 49 of the 75 seats in the legislature, and made the PC Party the new party of the right-wing majority in the province. Social Credit continued to decline after this election, and despite periodic attempts at reviving the party, was never again a significant force in Alberta politics.

The Liberal Party was shut out of the legislature, and had no momentum going into the election with one member crossing the floor and the rest resigning long before the 1971 vote, while Alberta New Democratic Party leader Grant Notley was the only NDPer to win election.
