 | | The UFA, which formed the government of Alberta from 1921 to 1935, began before 1910 as a social movement designed to offer information and services to farming communities in the province, and to pressure governments. |
 | | As late as 1917, the UFA President and leading theorist, Henry Wise Wood, advised the body against becoming a political party, and recommended that members attempt to influence the existing parties.7 |
 | | Finally, the UFA based its theory of democracy on "a natural harmony of group interests."
