Home > Saskatchewan Party

The Saskatchewan Party was the first in a trial of would-be provincial Reform parties. In 1996, federal leaders of the Reform Party had plans to expand their base into provincial politics. The collapse of the Saskatchewan Progressive Conservative party following numerous scandals and fraud charges from the late 1980s led to the perfect opening in Saskatchewan for a right-of-centre party.

During the Saskatchewan general election, 2003, the Saskatchewan Party campaigned on a platform of tax reduction and decreased government involvement in the private sector. However, they lost, 28 seats to 30, to the NDP.

The party was hounded by voters who accused the party of a plan to privatize the province's crown corporations, which various members had stated they were willing to do over the years since the party formed. The leader, Elwin Hermanson, was put on the defensive, stating he would not sell the four largest crown corporations to private business.

The party's current leader is Brad Wall. He was appointed on March 15, 2004 after being the only declared candidate.
