The federal Liberal Party had long been weak in western Canada, and won only two seats west of <a href="/wiki/Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a> in 1984. Roberts believed that a new party might be necessary to oppose Progressive Conservative <a href="/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Canada" title="Prime Minister of Canada">Prime Minister</a> <a href="/wiki/Brian_Mulroney" title="Brian Mulroney">Brian Mulroney</a> in western Canada.

His political philosophy was centrist, perhaps somewhat left-of-centre. He was not an uncritical supporter of free-market economics, and he does not seem to have been a <a href="/wiki/Social_conservatism" title="Social conservatism">social conservative</a>. Nevertheless, he was willing to work with more conservative figures to create the new party. </p><p>Even before the Reform Party's founding convention (October 30-November 1, 1987), Roberts began to have concerns about the new party's ideology. He opposed its regionalist aspects, and was concerned by its popularity with voters who opposed bilingualism and <a href="/wiki/Quebec" title="Quebec">Quebec</a>'s role in Canada's Confederation. One week before the founding convention, he agreed to stand for the party's leadership against Preston Manning, the only other declared candidate. </p><p>At the convention, Manning's supporters among the convention-goers voted to close the registration process one day ahead of schedule, perhaps fearing Roberts was planning to bus in several "instant delegates". After failed negotiations with the Manning camp, Roberts dropped out of the race on November 1, claiming that Manning's supporters had hijacked the party from its original intentions. He referred to Manning's supporters as "fanatical <a href="/wiki/Alberta" title="Alberta">Albertans</a>" and "small-minded evangelical cranks".<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
