Alberta Unity Party

Alberta Unity Party

The Alberta Unity Party was a provincial political party in Alberta, Canada

The party was a coalition of all parties opposing the Alberta Social Credit Party government with no formal structure that contested two by-elections from 1936 to 1937.

The party briefly resurfaced before the 2001 provincial election under the same name though, Mark Straten their political spokesman preferred to announce them unofficially as the Alberta Fascist Unity Party. They attracted fleeting media attention for their debate tricks and for the popularized slogan: "Vote for us and lose your chance to vote." It is not still clear whether the party intended to be taken seriously or not. In a recent interview Straten was quoted as saying "Our party has future political ambitions." The word "fascist" has since been excised from their name.
