Since we launched, we've been inundated with emails of supporter stories and opinions about changing the Alberta NDP name. So, we've decided to launch the APF Blog where supporters can share their perspectives.

The data is clear - the UCP's misinformation about the relationship between the Alberta NDP and the federal NDP has gotten through to voters.

Our policy always has been - and always will be - made in Alberta for Albertans.

But that is why we need to have the conversation.

Max writes "it should open the door to as many new voters as possible rather than closing ranks around existing membership."

We totally agree. This conversation is about finding new ways to welcome individuals into our party ranks who may have never considered the Alberta NDP.
Why the Alberta NDP needs a new leader, not a new name.

If they pick a successor to Rachel Notley who can expand their appeal in Calgary and other non-Edmonton parts of the province, the next election is very winnable. If they don't? Enjoy the backbenches

“If voters aren’t willing to hear what we are actually proposing because of the name, then that’s something worth exploring whether that name needs to change.”
