EDMONTON – Alberta’s fledgling Freedom Conservative party has picked a replacement for leader Derek Fildebrandt who is leaving politics.

David White, a paramedic and small business owner, has been chosen as interim boss until a vote is held sometime next year for a permanent leader.

White says even though the party was shut out of the legislature in last month’s election, it will be vocal over the next four years to hold United Conservative Premier Jason Kenney’s government to account.

Fildebrandt founded the Freedom Conservatives last year after he was expelled from Kenney’s caucus.

The party ran 24 candidates in the election on a platform of slashing personal and business taxes, cutting government spending, ending all interprovincial trade barriers and privatizing Crown corporations.

It attracted fewer than 10,000 votes and less than one per cent of total votes cast.
