Alberta Party
The Alberta Party, formally the Alberta Party Political Association, is a political party in the province of Alberta, Canada. The party describes itself as a centrist and pragmatic in that is not dogmatically ideological in its approach to politics. History Early history The Alberta Party began in the early 1980s as an alliance of small separatist political parties.

Politics Of Alberta
The Politics of Alberta are centred on a provincial government resembling that of the other Canadian provinces, namely a constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy. The capital of the province is Edmonton, where the provincial Legislative Building is located. The unicameral legislature, the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, has 87 members. Government is conducted after the Westminster model. The provincial government's revenue, although it is often described as predominantly coming from the province's resource base, actually is derived from a variety of sources. Nonrenewable resource revenue provided the government with 24 percent of its revenue in 2010–11, with about the same coming from individual income tax, 14 per cent from grants from the federal government, and about eight percent coming from both corporations and the government's own business activities. Alberta is the only province in Canada without a provincial sales tax (''see also Sales taxes in Canada''). ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The maximum period between general elections of the assembly is five years, but the Lieutenant Governor is able to call one at any time.

The number of seats has increased over time, from 25 for the first election in 1905, to the current 87. Alberta's politics has historically been one of long-lasting governments with government changes being few and far between.
