It was a grim April Fool's Day for Alberta Alliance members.
Former Reform Party leader Preston Manning dropped a bombshell yesterday when he expressed an interest in running for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta.
The fact that a Reform Party icon would go to the dreaded "Red Tories", rather than to the Alberta Alliance, is proof that mainstream conservative Albertans have no real interest in the right wing rump party.
More importantly, if Manning wins the leadership, the Alberta Alliance will likely lose what little support they have, become seatless, and disappear totally from the political scene in Alberta.
I just started this blog 3 days ago. Has the final act in the decline and fall of the Alberta Alliance already been written?
