Merger With The Wildrose Party
The Alberta Alliance membership voted on January 19, 2008 to merge with the upstart Wildrose Party, to create the "Wildrose Alliance". To effect the merger, the Alberta Alliance Party changed its name to the Wildrose Alliance Party of Alberta and allowed all members of the Wildrose Party of Alberta to exchange their membership in the Wildrose Party for a membership in the Wildrose Alliance for the unexpired term. The new party adopted bylaws substantially the same as those of the Wildrose Party of Alberta, and immediately conducted an election of officers. The Wildrose Alliance accepted all the assets and liabilities of the Wildrose Party of Alberta.

Famous quotes containing the word party:
“No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enforce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
