Disgruntled Alberta independent formally launches Freedom Conservative Party
EDMONTON – A one-time member of Alberta’s Opposition United Conservatives has formally launched his own party.
Independent Derek Fildebrandt says the best outcome after next spring’s election would be his new Freedom Conservative Party sharing power with Jason Kenney’s UCP.
Fildebrandt says his party will only run candidates in some constituencies, and he’d like to see the United Conservatives win a minority government and then join with him should he win any seats.
He says Kenney’s party has failed to deliver on its promises, and voters in strong conservative ridings deserve a true choice.
