Ultimately the responsiblilty lies with the voters. Don't like what you see, don't vote for them.

Don't pretend for a second that the NDP and the Liberals would have us in surplus territory right now with as small a debt load as we do now. Fixing the overspending has been a drum that has been beating from real fiscal conservatives in this province for some time. Taft and Mason have had two elections to provide alternative platforms that didn't involve bigger government and spending more money, but rather a reigning in of spending. I can't blame the Alberta population for not voting those clowns into office. What the Liberal party really needs is not a superficial name change but rather a heart transplant where a Laurence Decore type tries to out conserve the conservatives, not a doctor who wants to hamper business, raise taxes, and increase the size of the civil service.
If a party in Alberta wants to get elected they have to actually be inline with the will of the people and not bash the public for not buying into unpalatable ideas. The government should be in power to serve us the people, not to tell us where the bear s&^ts. We should be a province with a government and not a government with a province.
