The great civil war that has torn the conservative movement in Alberta asunder for the past 15 years must now be declared over. Wildrose won. That rural-libertarian faction is now directing the foot soldiers in the big conservative tent. The party is led by a former Wildrose leader, surrounded by a Wildrose brain trust, and energized by a cadre emboldened by the zeal of victory.
All of the energy of this party now belongs to groups like Take Back Alberta, once an insurgency, now a faction that put forward some of the party’s most controversial candidates. Individuals affiliated with the group now hold half of the UCP’s board, and there’s no sign that their ambitions have been sated.
Meanwhile, Rob Anderson, one of the key architects of the Free Alberta Strategy – which calls on Alberta to consider independence as a final resort if Ottawa fails to kowtow to measures that it admitted would foment a constitutional crisis – now works in the Premier’s office.

Noted far left political commentator, Jen Gerson, nails it again. This is the UCP you voted for.
