Accusing one's opponents of having a hidden agenda has become a matter of standard-issue political strategy. But accusing one's opponents of having a hidden agenda identical to one's own takes rather more creativity. And chutzpah. And contortionism.
So kudos to the Sask Party for at least introducing some novelty into Saskatchewan's election campaign. But I'm really not sure they've thought through the message.
Because if we assume the Sask Party is right in claiming that Dwain Lingenfelter's deepest, darkest political secret is that he could turn out to be Brad Wall...well, that's more a scathing indictment of a disconnect between Wall and the province than an endorsement of the current premier. And voters would have every reason to respond to that choice by voting for the prospect of something better, rather than the certainty of four more years of Wall.
