I don't think time is a valid excuse. The Alliance has been around since 2004.
I was not with the Alliance during the 2004 election, but there were a lot of "name on ballot" candidates. This time round the Wildrose Alliance has a much higher number of calibre candidates with greater potential.
In terms of development time; what worked against us was that people were not really looking for a viable alternative until October 2007. Being a small party; it has been difficult to garner media attention since 2004.
It was not until our stance on the Royalty Review that, that changed. It has renewed the interest in a viable alternative. As did Paul's performance in the debate; he surprised a lot of people.
