So this is why my ears were ringing....
Quick lesson on differences for you.
#1, Wildrose is not a registered party. They are struggling to get the required signatures by the deadline. They would actually benefit if Stelmach would call an election. Then they just need to run 42 candidates and they do not need to meet the signature requirment. Additionally; their policies are very thin right now. As I understand it they have nothing at all in them regarding Education.
#2, Social Credit, is all but dead. Most of their members have gone to other parties. The 30 or 40 remain only because they cannot let go of their money theories or the mandatory teaching of intelligent design in the classroom. And now that they are calling for a 30% increase to the royalities, even Liberals are blushing.
#3, The Alliance is on a very promising up swing.... there has been a significant shift since Stelmachs Royalty announcement; membership and contributions are going strong.

I couldn't agree more though that a socially moderate and fiscally conservative party would run rampant through much of the province, not to mention federally! Hopefully its not left to my grandchildrens children before one surfaces and is given a chance.

What is your definition of "socially moderate"?
