Don Braid: Independent MLAs look to revive zombie Alberta PC Party to challenge UCP

The knobs are starting to fall off Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party. Article content To the right, there's the separatist Republican Party of Alberta, which won 17 per cent of the vote in the recent Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills byelection. Article content Other separatists are trying to launch the Alberta Prosperity Party. Article content And now, back from the crypt, comes the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta, or PC Party as they were commonly known. Article content Two Independent MLAs, ejected from Premier Danielle Smith's caucus, want to reboot the PCs as a centrist party. Article content Article content But Premier Danielle Smith says they can't do that because the UCP owns the name. Article content Independent MLAs Scott Sinclair and Peter Guthrie will still forge ahead. Article content He's joined by Sinclair, the Lesser Slave Lake MLA who was ejected from caucus after he refused to support the UCP budget. Article content 'Our vision of this Progressive Conservative party would be that it's a mainstream party that represents a snapshot of the actual population,' says Sinclair. Article content 'People we've been talking to feel like they don't have a home politically, because the UCP has gone from one where conservatives of all kinds were welcome, to becoming a very radical and extreme version of Danielle Smith.' Article content Article content One massive problem is the UCP's flirtation with separatism, he says. Article content Article content 'We're conservatives who want to say inside Canada. Article content 'Also, I don't believe people want to see Donald Trump U.S.-style politics creeping in any more than they already have in this province.' Article content The Progressive Conservatives are no longer a registered party. But they have existed invisibly in a strange shadowland. Article content The grandees who united Wildrose with the PCs in 2017 wanted the two 'legacy' parties to vanish from view. Article content But they were real entities with finances and legal obligations. They couldn't just be abolished. Article content So, they were retained as silent subsidiaries of the UCP. Article content The UCP leader, in fact, was also leader of both legacy parties. The premier seems to think that still applies. Article content Smith said Wednesday it's the law that the PC name can no longer be used. She plans to discuss the matter with the chief electoral officer.
