Government is conducted after the <a href="/wiki/Westminster_system" title="Westminster system">Westminster model</a>. The provincial government's revenue, although it is often described as predominantly coming from the province's resource base, actually is derived from a variety of sources. Nonrenewable resource revenue provided the government with 24 percent of its revenue in 2010–11, with about the same coming from individual income tax, 14 per cent from grants from the <a href="/wiki/Politics_of_Canada" title="Politics of Canada">federal government</a>, and about eight percent coming from both corporations and the government's own business activities. Alberta is the only province in Canada without a provincial <a href="/wiki/Sales_tax" title="Sales tax">sales tax</a> (see also <a href="/wiki/Sales_taxes_in_Canada" title="Sales taxes in Canada">Sales taxes in Canada</a>). </p><p>Alberta has a single-tier system of municipal government similar to that of most of the other provinces. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Lieutenant_governor">Lieutenant governor</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Politics_of_Alberta&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Lieutenant governor"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><span class="nowrap"><a href="/wiki/Charles_III" title="Charles III">Charles III</a></span>, King of Canada, is also the sovereign for Alberta's provincial jurisdiction.

The powers of the Crown are vested in the monarch and are exercised by the lieutenant governor. </p><p>While the advice of the premier and Executive Council is typically binding on the lieutenant governor, there are occasions when the lieutenant governor has refused advice.

The UCP won 63 of 87 seats in the Alberta legislature, returning the province to conservative politics. This was the only election in Alberta history to dethrone an incumbent government after only a single term. However, the UCP received just 54 percent of the vote, the first-past-the-post system inflating the avalanche of switched seats and exaggerating the appearance of the party's popularity. In the <a href="/wiki/2023_Alberta_general_election" title="2023 Alberta general election">2023 general election</a>, the UCP won another majority but by smaller margins - UCP 49 seats, NDP 38 seats; UCP 53 percent of votes, NDP 44 percent of votes cast overall.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Federal">Federal</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Politics_of_Alberta&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Federal"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>When first MPs were elected in what is present-day Alberta in 1880s/1890s, Calgary and southern Alberta generally elected Conservatives, such as <a href="/wiki/Donald_Watson_Davis" title="Donald Watson Davis">Donald Watson Davis</a> and north-central Alberta elected Liberals such as <a href="/wiki/Frank_Oliver_(politician)" title="Frank Oliver (politician)">Frank Oliver</a>. </p><p>After province-hood, Alberta's federal representation mostly echoed that of its provincial government. Like provincial elections, federal elections again and again saw the leading party (no matter what its label) receive more than its due share of members and the other parties were under-represented. </p><p>When Liberals were in power in the Legislative Assembly, most of the province's MPs were Liberal. The 1917 election was an exception - The Union government's use of the soldier vote meant that Liberal candidates with majority support among voters voting in the riding were not declared elected. </p><p>Then when the United Farmers dominated from 1921 to 1935, most of the Alberta MPs were of that party. Calgary was a labour stronghold, and its election of two Labour MPs in 1921 was un-equalled anywhere else in the country. </p><p>When Social Credit came into vogue, winning its first electoral successes in 1935, federal representation also changed to being mostly Socred. The Social Credit party under <a href="/wiki/Ernest_Manning" title="Ernest Manning">Ernest Manning</a> turned right-wing in the 1940s, but this apparently mirrored changing sentiment among Alberta voters. And the party maintained its power provincially and its hold on most of the federal seats until the 1970s. </p><p>Alberta's conservative leaning was pronounced on the federal level. The province was the heartland of the <a href="/wiki/Reform_Party_of_Canada" title="Reform Party of Canada">Reform Party of Canada</a> and its successor, the <a href="/wiki/Canadian_Alliance" title="Canadian Alliance">Canadian Alliance</a>. These parties were the second-largest political parties in the <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_Canada" title="Parliament of Canada">federal Parliament</a> from 1997 to 2003 and they were located on the political right. </p><p>The Canadian Alliance merged with the <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada" title="Progressive Conservative Party of Canada">Progressive Conservative Party</a> to form today's <a href="/wiki/Conservative_Party_of_Canada" title="Conservative Party of Canada">Conservative Party of Canada</a>.

In 2021 it elected one in Edmonton and one in Calgary. In 2021 it received 15.5 percent of the Alberta votes so was proportionally due five seats in that province. In those years when Alberta had no Liberal MPs, Liberals were in power 1965-1968, 1972-1979, 1980-1984, 1993 to 2006 and 2019 to the present. In almost all of those five periods, for a total of 31 years, Alberta did not have direct representation in the federal cabinet. This included the years when PM Pierre Trudeau tried to create a National Energy Program. It failed. To this day, Canada is one of only a few major countries without a national energy plan. </p><p>The CCF never did elect an MP in Alberta. But under its later label, the New Democratic Party, the left has achieved more successes in Alberta, electing an MP in 1988 and one in <a href="/wiki/Edmonton_Strathcona_(federal_electoral_district)" class="mw-redirect" title="Edmonton Strathcona (federal electoral district)">Edmonton-Strathcona</a> every time since 2008. In 2021 an additional NDP MP was elected in Edmonton Griesbach. The party received almost a fifth of the Alberta vote in 2021 and proportionally was due six seats. </p><p>Rural Alberta ridings typically give the leading party, whether it is the Conservatives, or the United Farmers, Social Credit, Reform and the Alliance before them, some of the highest margins in the country; in many cases, the successful candidate receives more than two-thirds of the vote. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Provincial_political_culture">Provincial political culture</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Politics_of_Alberta&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Provincial political culture"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Alberta's political stability has led to a series of political continuity.

resent the imposition in the 1980s of the <a href="/wiki/National_Energy_Program" title="National Energy Program">National Energy Program</a> (NEP) by the <a href="/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Canada" title="Liberal Party of Canada">Liberal</a> federal government of <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Canada" title="Prime Minister of Canada">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/wiki/Pierre_Trudeau" title="Pierre Trudeau">Pierre Trudeau</a>. It was considered to be an intrusion by the federal government in an area of provincial responsibility. This led some Albertans to advocate <a href="/wiki/Alberta_separatism" title="Alberta separatism">separation of the province</a> from Canada but this advocacy (despite occasional surges in interest) has never resulted in electoral success. Neither, however, has the <a href="/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Canada" title="Liberal Party of Canada">Liberal Party of Canada</a> enjoyed much success in Alberta (outside of Edmonton) since that time. The NEP was ended when the <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada" title="Progressive Conservative Party of Canada">Progressive Conservative Party of Canada</a>, led by <a href="/wiki/Brian_Mulroney" title="Brian Mulroney">Brian Mulroney</a>, formed the federal government following the <a href="/wiki/1984_Canadian_federal_election" title="1984 Canadian federal election">1984 federal election</a>. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/2006_Canadian_federal_election" title="2006 Canadian federal election">2006 election</a>, the federal Conservative Party of Canada won all the seats in Alberta, providing them with a complete sweep of the province. However, the NDP won the seat of Edmonton—Strathcona in the <a href="/wiki/2008_Canadian_federal_election" title="2008 Canadian federal election">election of 2008</a>, denying the Conservatives a sweep of the province in this election. <a href="/wiki/Results_by_riding_of_the_Canadian_federal_election,_2011#Alberta" class="mw-redirect" title="Results by riding of the Canadian federal election, 2011">No Alberta seats changed parties</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2011_Canadian_federal_election" title="2011 Canadian federal election">2011 election</a>, in which the Conservatives went from a minority government to a parliamentary majority. In all three elections, many of the Conservative candidates were elected with large majorities of the vote. Alberta has for decades been considered a conservative fortress, no matter which right-of-centre party they may have chosen to support. Albertans followed strong support for the Progressive Conservatives in the 1980s with the same degree of support for the Reform Party, and the Canadian Alliance in the 1990s, finally delivering a clean sweep for the new Conservative Party of Canada only a few years after its creation in 2003–2004. </p><p>However, small disaffection with the Conservative Party of Canada over policies enacted during its minority government such as <a href="/wiki/Equalization_payments_in_Canada" title="Equalization payments in Canada">Equalization payments in Canada</a> and the Conservatives' reversal on <a href="/wiki/Income_trust" title="Income trust">income trusts</a> led to the founding of the nascent federal Party of Alberta, in 2006. Provincially, while the <a href="/wiki/Progressive_Conservative_Association_of_Alberta" title="Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta">Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta</a> had been in power for 40 years, they continued to win large majorities in the Legislative Assembly, winning 72 out of 83 seats in the March 2008 provincial election, although with declining popularity and lowering voter turn-out, reflecting increasing disfavour among ordinary Albertans regarding the government's market-first policies, its low quality of health and education services, and its flat-income tax policy. As well, for the first time since the 1980s, the PCs faced a challenge from the right wing, the upstart <a href="/wiki/Wildrose_Alliance_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="Wildrose Alliance Party">Wildrose Alliance Party</a>. A November 2009 poll said the new party had 28% support, just 6 points behind the governing PCs.<sup id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In polls, the Wildrose Party had a double digit lead over the PCs in December 2009, with 39% versus 25% each for the PCs and Alberta Liberals.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In April 2015, Jim Prentice called an election for May 5, citing the need for a mandate in order to make longer-term economic changes.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Though initial polls had the PCs in the lead, as the election approached they fell behind the opposition Wildrose party, and the NDP.
