Why not have a party dedicated to promoting Alberta's interests? If it works for Quebec, it should work for any region really. But saying it should be illegal is akin to stating that certain groups of people should be denied political representation of their choice simply because you disagree with them.

Personally I'm happy with how the Government has handled things. I think things would be different if Harper had a majority though.

Party politics is ridiculous though. When I cast a ballot, I want the person who I vote for to represent me and our regional concerns at a Federal level. I do NOT want them to simply tow the party line. This is a democracy, not a fiefdom. Party politics is simply an oligarchy in it's current form. Sadly, what we have is probably the least of all evils.

If they go to a vote in the next year or so, it will be another Conservative minority. I'm fine with that. Any of the current parties holding a majority would likely be a disaster.
