The party was founded as a social conservative alternative to Wildrose, which Thorsteinson describes as "middle of the road".[4] The party's website lists parental authority, religious freedom, and the privatization of health care among its priorities.
Its first electoral test was the Calgary-Lougheed by-election won by Jason Kenney. Candidate Lauren Thorsteinson (Randy's daughter) finished fourth, ahead of Green Party leader Romy Tittel.
