I really hate to post on rumours before they’re confirmed. After all, this might just be a case of Global jumping the gun. But I really wanted to beat the rest of the press with the headline above, so here’s the story:

First Stelmach, then Morton … is Swann next?

CALGARY – There may be yet another bombshell dropped by a high profile Alberta politician this week.

Last Tuesday, Premier Stelmach announced he will resign at the end of the next legislative session. Two days later, Ted Morton resigned from cabinet in order to run in the PC leadership race.

This time, it could be a member of the opposition party.

Global News has learned that David Swann is talking about stepping down as Liberal party leader. He discussed his resignation with party executives and caucus members over the weekend.

More to come tomorrow, if it becomes official…
