[Ottawa – March 13, 2025] Mark Carney’s landslide victory as Liberal leader on Sunday has propelled the party to 49.5 per cent – a record high in our 26 years of IVR tracking. Most of these g…
UCP was and no longer is the combination of the old AB Progressive Conservative Party and the alt right party Wildrose. Jason was a shortsighted greedy twit and Wildrose cannibalized his party from within as everyone could’ve and did predict. It was the only quick way to win an election again after the PC’s disgraced themselves with a string of incompetent/corrupt leaders in a row and the ANDP finally won a single term. Unite The Right was the slogan. United Conservative Party. Straight forward naming.
UCP is a provincial party only. They’re basically Republicans, and work with Take Back Alberta which are kinda like the Heritage Foundation behind Project 2025 in the USA. They’re currently preoccupied with forcing diversity policy out of Edmonton Public Libraries.
Provincial Liberals are irrelevant here because the ANDP is closer to the political alignment of the federal Liberals than the federal NDP, so they’re redundant. Federally the Liberals name has been mud in Alberta since Trudeau Sr. and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Energy_Program
edit: ANDP only lost the last election by a couple thousand votes. Notley stepped down, Nenshi won leadership for opposition, the ex mayor of Calgary. Moved party further to center? I guess. That’s the speculation, and Nenshi mused about changing the color from Orange to Purple. As in, mix conservative blue with center-left orange.
Better than UCP? Or they don’t run federally I guess? Idk much about Alberta
