Sask Liberals lean to the Right
Posted on: May 7th, 2008Or so says the headline in this leader-post story.
The Saskatchewan Liberal Party has begun a period of introspection after party candidates were shut out for a second consecutive provincial election last November. And, suggestions emerged Saturday the party could be nudging toward more right-wing ideals.
That’s right, return to the glory days of Thatcher, nothing like 40-year-old discredited ideas.
Of course, that would be a step up for the Liberals in Saskatchewan. They are the only group I know that with one elected official (federally or provincially) out of 74 and having gone zero for 4 in the last 4 provincial by-elections and election, that can make a virtue of their looserdom:
“We have one of those unique windows in the life of a political party where you don’t have the baggage of the past and you really have a clean slate.” - Ryan Androsoff
Good job Prairie fire, good job.

Saskatchewan Green-Liberal Merger?
Posted on: April 24th, 2008You know you are not doing so well as a political party when the greens try to buy you out.
The Greens!
What was far most interesting was that the Greens used the occasion to officially serve notice they’d like to see a formal merger with the Liberal Party of Saskatchewan.[snip]
Interim Liberal president Frank Proto was quick to note in an interview Tuesday that this isn’t the first time he’s heard such overtures since the November election.
Needless to say, this isn’t getting a super warm reception from John Murney. I would link to other Saskatchewan Liberal Blog reactions, but I don’t know any.
