It's nice to see cooperation in politics for once.
United Conservative Party A Step Closer As Alberta PCs, Wildrose Vote To Merge
RED DEER, Alta. — Alberta's political landscape profoundly shifted Saturday as its two main conservative parties — enemies for a decade — overwhelmingly agreed to end their feud and work as one to defeat Premier Rachel Notley's NDP.
In separate votes, members of the Wildrose party and the Progressive Conservatives voted in a landslide to merge into the new United Conservative Party.
Wildrose supporters voted 95.4 per cent in results announced at a hotel in Red Deer late Saturday afternoon.
About two hours later, Progressive Conservative Leader Jason Kenney announced at Calgary's Stampede Grounds that 95 per cent of his members ratified the proposed deal, which had been brokered by both parties in May.
