It's perfectly reasonable for a party one year into its present incarnation to still be formulating policy as it gains more members.
The Alberta Party has over 200 members currently drafting and refining policy. Health and Municipalities policies have come out, Education is next, with more being rolled out over the summer.

Sure. But to get mainstream attention/support, you have to have an actual platform. Right now it basically seems to be based on trust that the people involved are likeminded, which really only works if you know them/their ideas quite well.
They have some time before the next election, but having a platform to talk about would certainly be a positive step.
