Sask. Party might see some shifts in votes for the 2024 election
The Saskatchewan provincial election is just months away.
Daniel Westlake is an assistant professor of political studies at the University of Saskatchewan. He talked about whether or not there’s dwindling support for the Saskatchewan Party in the province.
“The Sask. Party’s still fairly comfortable, which is what you would expect a province that is a bit more conservative, and (a) resource-heavy province, and a more rural province,” Westlake said. “I still would expect, just based on the fundamentals, the Sask. Party (to) do a little bit worse than they’ve done in the past election. But the ability to win government (shouldn’t) be seriously threatened.”
Westlake said the party leaders matter, but they won’t be the deciding factor. He said just because a particular leader may be popular among people, it doesn’t always translate to votes.
