Since Calgary votes for progressive / centrist mayors (and councillors), this is simply the UCP's sad attempt to get tribal politics (ie. their color of blue) into the municipal realm.
They do it under the guise that citizens will more clearly know who they are voting for, because, you know, we're all too stupid to know how to vote in municipal elections without the color of a party attached.
