The AB Republicans website has a list of sitting MLAs who "support" them. Highly recommend a gander.

I can't stress this enough. DO NOT DISMISS THIS AS PURE MISDIRECTION.
Yes, I think part of what is happening is misdirection to occupy news and media away from the pending economic disaster ($10 bil deficit), negligence, and ultimately gross corruption (Mraiche Scandal). But, whether intentional or not, when you open the door to this type of beast, the beast comes through. Look at Brexit. Look at Trump's first run. A lot of speculation that the original architects of these were using them to distract, and both paid out instead. No doubt there is substantial american (and likely more sinister) foreign interest backing the #### out of these positions.
It should be lost on no one that polling on separatism went from 20% in February to a 37% mixed bag in May. If you spice this up with some voter suppression and let it ride for a year, it's going to be a disaster.
Well, its already a disaster, it will just be a worse disaster.
