	Saskatchewan Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Saskatchewan Party is a centre-right political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
		The Saskatchewan Party serves as the province's Official Opposition, holding 27 of the 58 seats (1 vacant due to a recent resignation) in the province's Legislative Assembly in Regina.
		In 2004, the Saskatchewan Party had attacked the provincial NDP government over a bad investment, named SpudCo, and the actions of a cabinet minister, Eldon Lautermilch who was forced to apologize for misleading the legislature, a fact that only became apparent once sworn evidence was acquired from a civil lawsuit against the province.

	Saskatchewan New Democratic Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (NDP) (formerly the Saskatchewan Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF)) is a social democratic political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
		The Saskatchewan CCF followed suit, and adopted its current name in 1967 after a transitional period when the party was awkwardly named the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, Saskatchewan Section of the New Democratic Party of Canada.
		An irony of recent Saskatchewan NDP history is that despite starting in the 1930s as a party of rural discontent, it had by the 1990s lost almost all of its rural seats and found its greatest strength in Saskatchewan's cities.

	The Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) and the New Democratic Party (NDP) in Quebec - Readings - Quebec History
		Indeed, in 1961, the CCF was replaced by the New Democratic Party (NDP), in an attempt to make political inroads in Ontario and Quebec, by moderating its platform and forming a broader power base.
		Unlike the Labour party in the United Kingdom, the CCF-NDP has not been able to marginalise the Canadian Liberal Party and usurp its political power base, despite conclusive polling data which has shown that since 1945, Canadian public opinion and New Democratic policies have often converged on significant issues.
		In effect, from the creation of the party in 1932 to the election of 1984, with the notable exception of the 1958 general elections, Quebec’s voters remained, federally, solidly Liberal.
