Call it another kind of Klein revolution.

Angie Klein, daughter of former PC Premier Ralph Klein, is backing the NDP in the May 5 provincial election.

In a video posted to YouTube, Klein said she was “very proud” of many of the things done by her father’s Progressive Conservative government.

“But one of the things I’m least proud of is the flat tax,” she said.

“In order to scrap the flat tax, what we’ve got to do is, we have to vote NDP.”

Klein — who died in 2013 — introduced the 10 per cent flat tax on income in 1999.

Jim Prentice’s version of the PC government actually killed it in this year’s provincial budget, introducing a new progressive health care levy on income for those making over $50,000 and new higher tax brackets for individuals earning over $100,000.

NDP spokeswoman Cheryl Oates said the video was created by the local Edmonton-Centre campaign and was not an initiative of the party.
