One thing I don't really understand very well, is why doesn't anybody create a brand new party. And I'm talking a person with a name, like Kent Hehr for instance. And you create a new party with a blend of socially liberal but fiscally conservative takes, and then you re-brand this party under new name, logo, colours, etc. And then you go social media huge, sort of like what Nenshi did.
Just seems like you might be able to create a lot of momentum, and get a lot of people to jump ship and or populate your party. I guess a little bit like Wildrose, but maybe without the bat-#### crazy chitter chatter stemming from any kind of religious / overtly right allusion, and just a moderate, centrist platform.
I realize this may be difficult, but I feel like it would be immensely successful.
How many years did it take Wildrose to do this (get momentum)?
Alternatively, you have these guys trying to merge a bunch of parties the majority isn't really pumped about.
Albertans are looking for a new political party, I think you can bet on that. It's just the alternatives are not that great either.
