So let me go back to your original comment then, about the differences between the Alberta Alliance Party, Social Credit and the Wildrose group.
Both the Social Credit and Wildrose have policies on one or more of these issues. While the Alliance have none.
Would it not make sense then, based on your definition; that the Alliance would be the more moderate choice for you?

As mentioned before, the WRP is yet to be a party and have very few actual policies because every policy needs to be adopted by the members not the executive. Which is one of the main differences between the WRP and the others. They do have about 70 policy proposals but that is all they are, are proposals. During the AGM most proposals were voted down. So until all the policies have been defined by the membership I can't compare the two side by side.
One thing is interesting tho is that the amount of signatures required to register a political party in Alberta went from 300 and something when the alliance formed to now over 6000. I think the PC's were worried about these parties forming and made it very difficult for them to become registered. You only need 103 signatures for a federal party I believe.
