	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 Liberal Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The party dominated Saskatchewan politics for the province's first forty years providing six of the first seven premiers, and being in power for all but five of the years between the province's creation in 1905 and World War II.
		After the defeat of the Liberals in the 1971 election at the hands of the CCF's successor, the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party (NDP), the party remained the principal opposition party in the province until the 1978 election, when the party was wiped out and replaced on the right by the Progressive Conservatives.
		The party continued to founder and, in 1997, several right-wing Liberal Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) joined forces with Reform Party of Canada supporters and former Tories to form the Saskatchewan Party.
