New Political Party in BC

[Mowich]

About

The Rural BC Party was founded in response to the growing concern that the existing major political parties are solely interested in supporting the voter-rich areas of the Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island and have increasingly neglected rural BC. Too often the revenues generated from resources in rural BC are used to subsidize major projects in the Lower Mainland, while smaller communities throughout the province struggle to thrive.

Voice for Rural BC

The Rural BC Party will be a relentless voice for rural BC. The party will advocate for the needs of rural British Columbians and ensure that the region is no longer being ignored by Victoria. By focusing on policies rather than politics, we will provide a voice in the centre to bridge the polarizing politics of the major parties. The Rural BC Party will be the champion for disenfranchised British Columbians and will build support and run provincial candidates in BC’s 23 rural ridings in the next election.

Developing Rural Communities

Many communities in rural BC are on life support and have never had the opportunity or the means to diversify their economies and truly flourish. Throughout the province, these communities have lacked the economic stability, direct investments and government supports that are so desperately needed. The Rural BC party will fight to ensure that all communities outside of the Lower Mainland and Southern Vancouver Island are given a hand-up. By helping develop rural BC communities the province as a whole will ultimately benefit.

Greater legislative Independence

To properly represent the voices of rural BC, we believe that our elected MLAs shouldn’t be whipped to vote along strict party lines. Policy should be built from the ground up and not dictated by party politics. Rural BC MLAs will have a free vote in the legislature to ultimately better represent the needs and wishes of their constituents. The Rural BC Party is committed to focusing on issues that are critical to rural communities.

good idea.

It's a load of bull from the same whiners as always.

Go anywhere in rural BC and you hear the same pathetic bleating about how they're forgotten/underfunded/downtrodden and generally shat upon.

Good win enough seats to hold the purse .

So that is a party that would represent almost no one?

Kamloops , Kelowna , Penticton , Vernon , Prince George , Revelstoke , Salmon Arm , Chase , 100 Mile House . And others are not considered rural areas , yet are all in the interior of B.C. and effected by the voting habits of our two major population centres . So in my opinion yes the interior can play the.same game as the greenweavers .

People should be able to vote for someone who represents them and their interests.

That would seem to be basic democracy.

A wonderful idea.

Right,and as the graph shows those centres are too small to have any major impact on an election, which was exactly my point.

Are they ? I failed to mention Prince Rupert Terrace , Kitimat , Quesnel Williams Lake , Castlegar , Cranbrook , Vanderhoof MacKenzie , Ft St. John , Ft. Nelson , Dawson Creek , Nelson , Trail . Give your head a shake .

what was your point?

That rural BC is too small to be of any consequence to anyone but the people who live there?

That would seem to me to be a reason to have its own representation.

Read the graph. Only about 10% of BC is rural. You are mistakenly assuming that every voter who lives in a city smaller than Victoria is going to support the new party. Most won't.

My point is that a party that is designed to represent only 10% of the population is bound to fail. Stop reading things into my posts I didn't put there.

black people are 10% of the American population.

does that mean black people should not run for office?

You are not getting the picture Itried to paint for you . None of these centres are considered rural and they are all in the interior of the province with the exception of Prince Rupert and Kitimat .

Hoid, you are starting to post stupidly. Try to avoid complete non-sequiturs and posting replies to things I did not say.
