/agree with Thunderball, though I don't think environmental issues are that key, at least not yet. That time will come.

Also, that party probably can't have the "Liberal" moniker attached to it. Its still a bad word in the circles I run with.

And the reason having a Mormon as the leader of a far right party is made an issue is because, a lot of people look for any reason to discredit the "far right", and for whatever reason Mormonism gets a lot of people excited and scared. There have been many Mormons elected to public office and you never hear about it until it gets attached to a "far right" party.

Once you get past the golden plates myth and being told to wear a certain kind of underwear, Mormonism isn't much different from Catholicism, IMHO.

If the "new" merged party is to have any success they'll have to take great strides to avoid being seen as a far right farmer's party. They'll have to get urban, quickly.

Oh yeah, and they should keep that Audrey chick from Stettler far away. She's scary. Oh and anyone named "Byfield" should be asked to not run for a board seat.
