The Saskatchewan Party is a centre-right political party in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The party was established in 1997 by a coalition of former Progressive Conservative and Liberal members and supporters who sought to remove the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party from power. Some long-time NDP voters and at least one former NDP MLA have joined the party. While it has been a right-of-centre party since its creation, it is now attempting to attract moderate voters. The Saskatchewan Party serves as the province's Official Opposition, holding 28 of the 58 seats in the province's Legislative Assembly in Regina.

The party's origins and political basis

---

For the first 30 years of Saskatchewan's history, the provincial Liberals could be argued to have been its liberal party, too, assiduously courting ethnic minorities as well as agrarian and labour activists.

But with the collapse of the provincial Conservative party in the 1934 provincial election and the first steps of the Farmer-Labour coalition that grew into the leftist Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (forerunner of the NDP), the Liberals moved steadily to the right.
