Alison Redford spent the weekend answering questions about her leadership.
She met with the Conservative executive board on Saturday and was grilled for hours about the problems within her party but received a standing ovation as the quarterly meeting ended.
Sunday night a group of MLA’s met to discuss the party’s future where they developed a work plan to help the embattled premier.
Airdrie Wildrose MLA Rob Anderson said the problem is not just the premier, but the entire party.
“I find it rich for all of these whining and complaining MLA’s in the caucus and the cabinet to be finding personality flaws with this premier while at the same time agreeing with all of her policies” Anderson said.
The controversy is not just coming from the Wildrose, Danielle Smith retweeting from an unlikely source about the same subject NDP leader Brian Mason.
Anderson wants the premier and her problems to go away so they can get back to work, something Justice Minister Jonathan Denis agreed with.
“What I keep hearing from people who call in, they would like us to move past this and get back to the business of governing” he said.
Denis said there will always be infighting within an organization.
This all comes as a new Angus Reid survey says the Wildrose are on the rise in the province as the Tories stumble.
