A group of Liberals from Calgary launched a website and manifesto-like document yesterday calling for changes that they want to see in the Alberta Liberal Party.
I’ve written quite a bit about this topic in the past couple months, so I’m not going to repeat a lot of what is already posted on this blog. In short, I’m not convinced that any of Alberta’s current political parties have enough public credibility to “re-engage” with Albertans in any meaningful way. Vision documents like this one make things feel all warm and hopeful about the future, but until voters start to feel like politics are relevant to their lives, it’s probably not going to make much of a difference. That is why I am more interested in what David Swann is doing.
