Province Seeks To Include The Unelected Parties

The Premier inviting the three unelected political parties the chance to take part in the legislature.
David Alward enlisting UNB Saint John political scientist Don Desserud to assist in the process.
Desserud tells CHSJ News the process is a reminder of Frank McKenna's 1987 sweep of the legislature.

He says at the time, people were concerned about having a one-party state and Desserud says the attempt to include other parties didn't really work but, it was an attempt.
Desserud says he hopes the Green party, People's Alliance and NDP will take advantage of the Premier's invitation.
