A shift to the right for the Saskatchewan Party
Outgoing Prime Minister Scott Moe may be making a shift to the right, observe professor of political science at the University of Alberta, Frédéric Boily, and professor emeritus of history at the University of Regina and political observer, Stephen Kenny.
Such a strategy could be in order to avoid losing votes to other political parties, notably the United Party of Saskatchewan.
The Saskatchewan United Party was influential in the Saskatchewan Party’s policies and campaigning this year
adds analyst Murray Mandrick of the National Post.Scott Moe is afraid of a division in the right-wing vote and has therefore had his hand forced to ensure his hold on right-wing voters.
This shift to the right is observed in particular with recent policies on gender.
In August 2023, the Saskatchewan Party implemented the Parental Rights Act. According to the latter, parents of students must now give their consent to educational establishments regarding
the use of the preferred name or gender of students under 16 at school
.At the end of the campaign, Scott Moe announced that his party was preparing to introduce a new policy aimed at establishing strict separation of locker rooms based on biological sex in schools.

Good
campaign and a good debate.The NPD was also able to attack Scott Moe’s record, which he did not have the chance to do in the previous elections, adds Mr. Boily. In 2020, Scott Moe had only been in power for 2 years, which allowed him not to have
