If you seriously can't distinguish the difference in policies between Klein vs Redford then you've got a large issue understanding government.
The Wildrose Party was a protest party based on the PC's totally abandoning fiscally conservative principles. They were the first real opposition voice in Alberta in decades, mainly because the PC policy book had become nearly identical to the Liberal Party.
I think the fact we know Alison Redford won the leadership of the PC's on the back of the Alberta Teachers Association says all we need to know about her 'true conservative' leadership. She attracted many left wing votes, which was her goal all along. I believe you even voted for her?
