Why Recall Your UCP MLA?

According to the Alberta legislature website, “The role of an MLA includes many different roles and responsibilities. Representing constituents in the Assembly is arguably the most visible aspect of the job, but MLAs invest countless hours in the communities they serve and advocate on behalf of Albertans through many channels.

On any given day an MLA may speak in the Assembly, meet with community representatives in their constituency, study background on an issue, facilitate complex policy discussions, deliver remarks as a guest speaker, troubleshoot negotiations and act as a goodwill ambassador for their constituency, the Legislative Assembly and the Province of Alberta.

Constituents are all people living within the electoral boundaries of a constituency, including those who voted in the last election, regardless of their chosen candidate, those who didn’t vote and even those who are not eligible to vote.”

There are many MLAs in Alberta constituencies who have failed to meet these guidelines!

A recall provides a legal, democratic mechanism by which constituents can replace an unresponsive MLA to an MLA who focuses on the needs of the constituents. Although we can wait for the proposed election in 2027, there is a way to circumvent this delay, and the ongoing destruction by the UCP. BILL 52 IS YOUR RIGHT.
