The 1913 Alberta general election will be the third general election held in the Province of Alberta. Taking place on April 17, 1913, to elect 56 members to the 3rd Alberta Legislature. The incumbent Liberal Party led by Premier Arthur Sifton are aiming for a third consecutive majority government. The Conservative Party led by Edward Michener are hoping to defeat the Liberals by capitalizing on the A&GW scandal that led to Premier Rutherford’s resignation. Who will emerge victorious on election night.
This election is shaping up to be a challenge for the opposition, whose support appears fractured across four distinct parties. Despite their best efforts to attack the incumbent CAQ government, the opposition’s message is failing to coalesce and gain traction with voters.
With the traditional left-right divides blurring, the opposition vote is being split between a struggling Liberal party, a gasping sovereigntist movement, an ascendant left-wing Quebec Solidaire, and a conservative challenger. This division in the anti-CAQ vote is playing into the hands of the governing party, who are poised to retain power.
The once-dominant sovereigntist movement, in particular, is gasping its last breaths, as the leading separatist party fails to reignite public passion for the independence cause. Voters seem more preoccupied with pocketbook issues and the delivery of public services than the grand project of Quebec sovereignty, With some pundits had speculated about a potential political realignment.
This scenario offers you with many possibilities:
Can you Increase CAQ Majority and cement it’s dominance in Quebec politics for years to come?
Can you turn the fortune of the Liberal Party around and bring them back to government?
Can you revive the dying Parti Quebecois from falling even deeper to political irrelevancy?
Can you help Quebec Solidaire achieve their long held dream of winning 12 seats and gaining official party status?
And finally can you win the rising Conservative Party its first seat in the National Assembly?
