Considering that the Alberta Liberal Party hasn't won an election in that staunchly conservative province since the Triassic period, I'm surprised that it took federal Liberal Party corruption for their straggling descendants to ponder the obvious solution.
You'd think an unbroken record of electoral failure would have been enough of a motivating factor.
Update Leading contender news just in:
The Alberta "This Pig Is Wearing Lipstick Now" Party.











But isn't a liberal by any other name . . .
A new name for the Gliberals- how about Pondscum?
Isn't it too hilarious? Do they really think we're that dumb?? Sheesh!
"The Liberal party formed Alberta's first government 100 years ago under premier Alexander Rutherford when it held 23 of the legislature's 25 seats. But the party has not fared well in most provincial elections since then.
Wiley Albertans, cottoned onto them right off.
The word liberal is now a taboo word--where? - in the USA. It has been so for the past 25 years.
Canada is catching/waking up 25 years after the USA.
God Bless America.
God bless George Bush.
I have always thought of the Liberals as The Unprincipled Party. They are welcome to use that name royalty-free.
The Alberta "This Pig Is Wearing Lipstick Now" Party.
What's a Liberal?... lived here all my life and ain't seen one... I thought it was those little black things that fly in the night...
They're welcome to use "Kleptomaniacal Election Whores" but we better pol real live thieving whores to see if they'd be offended.
rat free, I guess that won't work.
The "I Coulda Been a Contender" Party
The Alberta "These Are Not The Miscreants You're Looking For" Party.
maz2--They can use "Democrat" it's not completely clapped out here in the US...yet.
all good job... Greg gets a big golf clap.
The "ssshhhhhh, keep your head down" party
The "Lying Cheating Wannabees" Party
Is this going to be a name they keep for a very long time, or even forever?
Because if it is, then I suggest the "Opposition Party".
How about the..."Who wants to be a Liberal Senator Party?"
How about "Lieberals Against Truth Etc" or The Late Party. Their motto "We always run behind". To join the party you would have to speak for ten minutes in a lie detector test. Any one who scored less than 90 per cent would be sent to Ottawa to attend Liars School to learn how to expunge truth from his or her public speaking..
How about;
The Camorra Party
The Kakistocracy Party
The Honeyfuggle Party
just a few I found in my Funk and Wagnells
The Alberta Sponserships
"Were soft on crime, soft on drugs, are Public sector union whores and we're gonna tax you back to the Stone Age because people shouldn't have to go to work if they don't want to.
I find it interesting, that the Liberal Party doesn't have a "western wing" a little like the Democratic party in the excited states has/had some pretty conservative "southern democrats".
As a British Columbian who has the pleasure of a not having any Provincial parties linked to the Federal Liberals (our provincial "Liberals" had the good sense to leave the Federal party years ago) I'd suggest: The Alberta "not those Liberals" Party
Woah, this board sounds like a right-wingers wet dream (heterosexual, of course).
Of course, if you knew that the Alberta Libs cut their official connections with the feds 30+ years ago...
A few I came up with to post elsewhere earlier...

The Alberta Socialist Whackos Party
The Non-Albertan Party
