#CANADA: New Party Rules May Thwart Cand. Hoping To Merge With Wildrose

[world politics news]


Jason Kenney, the man campaigning for leader of Alberta's Progressive Conservatives and merge them with the Wildrose Party, is facing new rules designed to thwart his plans. Rules include a requirement that 5 of 15 delegates in each riding (district) now have to be party insiders sitting on local PC party boards. PCs have their own version of unelected superdelegates, including former PC members of the legislature. Kenney says he is "disappointed" the party leaders decided to reduce rather than increase the role of grassroots members.
