  • 1 Party Democracy in Alberta
    1 Party Democracy in Alberta Political parties occupy an important place in democratic politics, as they, among other things, provide a link between citizens and the state. It is through parties that citizens have opportunities to affect the composition of governmental elites. In the words of the Royal Commission on Electoral Reform and Party Financing, “Political parties give voters meaningful choices, both in the direct election of their individual Member of Parliament and in the indirect election of a government” (Volume 1: 207). Parties perform a crucial pre-selection function for the political system, since in most liberal democracies, attaining party office is a necessary and occasionally suffi- cient condition for obtaining government office. The internal activities of political parties are thus of interest to those con- cerned with the health of democracy. As Michael Gallagher explains, “the way in which political parties select their candidates may be used as an acid test of how democratically they conduct their internal affairs” (1988: 1). This issue is of more than just academic significance. Citizens in elections are largely restricted to choosing from among the candidates that parties deign to put before them. This point was demonstrated vividly by Boss Tweed (former Democratic Party boss in New York), who suggested: “I don’t care who does the electing, just so I can do the nominating” (as quoted in Courtney 1995: 127). Possession of the ability to choose their party’s standard-bearer in a gen- eral election is one of the most jealously guarded prerogatives of local party activists in Canada (see Carty 1991).
