This is funny.
Respected conservative political scientist Dr. Faron Ellis was interviewed by the Globe and Mail for an August 31 story on the 35 year Tory dynasty in Alberta. During the course of the interview, he made the following comment about the prospects for an Alberta Alliance government:
"We've only changed governments three times in 100 years and when we do, we looked not to the established opposition, but to a completely new party. There are no new parties ready to catch the next big wave," said Faron Ellis, a political scientist at Lethbridge Community College.
He said fringe parties such as the Alberta Alliance, which are to the right of the Conservatives, are not appealing to enough voters.
Fringe party?
BWAHAHAHAHA.
I have long maintained that respectable Alberta conservatives want nothing to do with the Alberta Alliance.
I guess we can now add Dr. Faron Ellis' name to that growing list.
