Canadian Action Party To Run Candidates as Liberals and Conservatives in Next Election

CAP takes Lesson from Emerson Strategy

15 February 2006
for immediate release

The Canadian Action Party may have been far from electing an MP in the last election, but a new strategy should ensure a breakthrough next time.

The Party, which up to now has been frustrated in its efforts to become mainstream, intends to use to its advantage a recently-invoked quirk in the electoral system.

As part of its new strategy, the Canadian Action Party will get its candidates to run as Liberals or Conservatives in the next election. They will, unlike in the past, be well financed and organized, and have an army of volunteer workers.

Then, the week after they are successful in the election, they will announce that they are crossing the floor of the Commons, to join THE CANADIAN ACTION PARTY and sit as CAP Members of Parliament.

They will issue a statement that they will support changes to the system to prevent others from doing the same. Of course, such changes would not be retroactive.
