Two political parties in Saskatchewan are considering a potential alliance ahead of the upcoming provincial election.
Two political parties in Saskatchewan are considering an alliance.
Saskatchewan’s Buffalo Party Leader is considering whether a campaign alliance with the Progressive Conservatives might be mutually beneficial.
“There’s been a lot of talk about splitting the vote, you know, between Conservative value parties in Saskatchewan and we have been speaking with the PC Party and we’re open to the thought of running together. Our platforms are quite similar,” said Buffalo Party Leader Phil Zajac.
The Progressive Conservatives bring decades of political experience to the table. They also have considerable resources. For them, an alliance would make it easier to field a full team of candidates.
“It would really strengthen in numbers. It gives us an opportunity to run 61 candidates and the reality is it’s getting harder and harder to find candidates. People don’t trust the government. They don’t trust the process,” said Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan Leader Rose Buscholl.
“We are in discussions on working on a coalition currently, but it is still currently only in the discussion phase.”
Talks between the two parties continue but time is of the essence.
