Edmonton, Alberta - Tim Cartmell, the mayoral candidate for the Better Edmonton party, has announced that his party will go dormant after the October 20 election. The party, which has been a useful way to raise funds, according to Cartmell, will suspend its activities following the election. The Better Edmonton party is an election-specific entity, not a council-specific one. It's important to note that the party will have no impact on the council table, as per Cartmell's statement. The Municipal Government Act still applies to the Better Edmonton party, ensuring that the organization adheres to the necessary guidelines. The Better Edmonton party is making adjustments based on potential changes in the party system. This comes as Cartmell is considering the impact of potential changes in the party system and is observing potential adjustments to the party system by the provincial government. The name of the provincial minister or the head of the electoral committee responsible for the pilot project of municipal parties in Edmonton and Calgary this election is not publicly specified. In addition to the Better Edmonton party, Edmonton currently has two other parties: Better Together and the Principled Accountable Coalition for Edmonton (PACE). Municipal parties, including the Better Edmonton party, are a pilot project by the provincial government in Edmonton and Calgary this election. It's worth mentioning that there is no whipping of votes, cabinet, or caucus in the Better Edmonton party, as per Cartmell. The Better Edmonton branding and party infrastructure will be shelved after the election, marking the end of the party's activities for the time being. Cartmell is also considering the future changes in the party system, and he wants to observe potential adjustments to the party system by the provincial government. The Better Edmonton party's decision to discontinue its activities is a significant move in the ongoing political landscape of Edmonton.
