I don't know that I'd say that Yukon has slid to the right. I think that politics there tends to be very personality based. The Liberal MP there is apparently quite well-liked and quite progressive, so I assume that as long as he is there - it sucks a lot of oxygen out of the room for the NDP.
Before Audrey McLaughlin was elected, Yukon was thought of as a pretty rightwing place and was represented for many years by that troglodyte Erik Nielsen.

The NDP was first elected as government in the Yukon two years before Audrey was first elected in a 1987 by-election.

Wasn't that with premier Tony Penikett, father of Tahmoh Penikett, the actor who plays Karl "Helo" Agathon in Battlestar Galactica?
