UCP leader pitches fixed vote date, changes to fundraising, tax rules

EDMONTON- Opposition Leader Jason Kenney says if he wins the spring election, he will bring in democratic reforms on everything from floor-crossing to desk-thumping.

Kenney says he would also bring in a fixed election date and pass a law that would force a referendum before any future government tried to impose a carbon tax.

He says Albertans sent a clear message in the last election that they wanted politicians to clean up their act.

Kenny says a United Conservative government would bring in a law to allow voters to recall their legislature member and force a byelection if 40 per cent or more signed a petition.
