The leader of the Wildrose party says he's heard from party members that the two right wing parties have to get together.

Brian Jean says he's willing to step down and run for the leadership of a new united party.

He says Wildrose is the strongest it's ever been.

Jean says if the PC's want to merge he's willing to seek a mandate for the two parties to unite.

He says it's vital they get together to defeat the NDP.
