That's some bus(t)

The province of Alberta is in the midst of an election campaign. The Wildrose Party unveiled its campaign bus, with a picture of party leader Danielle Smith:

All it needs now is a couple of pasties with tassels to be attached to the centre of the wheels so they can spin as the bus rides down the road.

Heh. It could be worst.

They could be less than perky.

Though these ones light up when braking, which would be a bonus.

I don't think those are fake, they look wheel to me!

Gives new meaning to the term "pneumatic."

Wildrose party?

Gob, the Wildrose party is a right of center party, perhaps slightly to the right of the ruling Progressive Conservatives. The wildrose is the official flower of the Province of Alberta. You're welcome!

Many thanks, I thought it may be like this crew.

No, those people are sane by comparison.

Just did a little reading on it...

Apparently it's a very serious and competitive political party in Alberta, (despite its name) and Ms. Smith has been leading it very effectively...

EDMONTON —

The governing Progressive Conservatives and the upstart Wildrose party are running one-two in the polls as Premier Alison Redford prepares to call the campaign shortly after her caucus passes the budget on Wednesday.

"I think people are pretty anxious to get to the polls as am I," Redford said.

"I believe we're going to have a strong election. We're going to have a strong showing."

Redford is running in her first election as premier since taking over as party leader from Ed Stelmach last fall.

History is on her side.

The Tories have been in power for more than 40 years with 11 consecutive majority governments, alternating between solid and crushing victories.

They have decimated all comers from the left side of the spectrum, but this time face one coming at them from the right.

The Wildrose party, under leader Danielle Smith, has become a threat to the Tories by co-opting the traditional conservative agenda of balanced budgets and reduced spending abandoned by the Tories under Stelmach and Redford.

The party definitely sees Danielle as an asset; here's their website:

It is a very serious political party, and they are poised to become the official opposition, but they are still crazy as loons.
