Of course the party is not nearly as bad of as you make it out to be either.

Think so?
Doctrinaire thinking never wins the day in a pluralistic society. That went out of fashion when William Aberhart croaked and Manning The First took over.
Alberta has a fine history of Fringe Parties. Probably holds the lead in that department.
Myself, can't really get behind Stelmach because he's pretty much going to be just the same as the last batch of ass holes, but hey, he was a comprimise candidate, and at the end of the day that's a pretty good start.
Meh. He's the New Guy.
