UCP grassroots members are proposing new policies, such as reintroducing coal power and charging temporary residents for health care.
Grassroots members of Premier Danielle Smith's United Conservative Party (UCP) are proposing dozens of new policies, including reintroducing coal power and making temporary residents pay for health care.
Lori Williams, a Mount Royal University political science professor, told the Canadian Press that governing remains a challenge for Danielle Smith due to her “well-organized, motivated base.”
Smith's leadership, she said, has successfully balanced competing interests. "If you appeal to an angry base but fail to deliver on expectations, that anger can turn against you," she warned.
