Western Independence Party wants solo Sask.

The Western Independence Party of Saskatchewan is spreading its message of a solitary Saskatchewan this election campaign.

The goal of the party, which was established in 2003, is for the province to separate from the rest of the country and operate as its own sovereign nation, although still remain as a member of the Commonwealth.

The smallest party to field candidates in this election, withabout 20 members, its led by Dana Arnason, who is running in the Biggar riding.

Arnason told CBC News he believes Saskatchewan would be best served by making its own decisions, instead of sending a small number of representatives to a federal parliament.

"The issues that are important to the people of Saskatchewan don't get brought up," said Arnason.

"What we get is, the issues that are important to central Canada drive the federal government's agenda. A good example is the long gun registry. Universally hated in this province, it was put through in any event."

Arnason said a number of countries, including Norway and Iceland, function as independent nations with small populations.

Arnason also supports proportional representation, the creation of a provincial police force to replace the RCMP, and a flat-rate income tax.

"Just because I'm industrious, that I've been fortunate, that I've worked hard, doesn't mean I should pay more," said Arnason.

The party is still looking for candidates for the election. Arnason said as of Thursday, there were three candidates that he was confident about.

The provincial election is Nov. 7.
