Prolife Alberta earned third place for fundraising in Q3 with $51,126.94. The group, which has never held a seat in the Alberta legislature, raised more money than the Alberta Party and Liberal Party combined. ABleg YYC
Snagovsky said a party that has earned fundraising dollars without a clear path for nominating candidates can mean a singular idea has resonated with a group of Albertans.“There are different kinds of political parties. Some try to form government and some try to pursue a particular ideology or one policy platform,” he explained.
“The people who are supporting abortion groups have no hope — they aren’t sitting around thinking that party will eventually form government.”Alberta Party leader Barry Morishita said he is hoping to help his party capture some more attention — and fundraising dollars — in the next election. Snagovsky said he’s not sure that Alberta will see a three- or four-party race, partially because of the first-past-the-post system.“The party with the most votes wins, so it doesn’t leave a whole lot of room for third parties to emerge because they end up splitting the vote,” he explained.
