Party websites

Posted January 12, 2009 by Sacha Peter - Link

It is instructive to look at the changes to the websites of the respective parties.

I notice that on the BC Liberals’ site that Gordon Campbell is on all of the “clips” underneath the main pane; this used to be a list of some of the other members in cabinet.

An internet ad profiling Carole James is also making the rounds. This currently is not on the BC NDP’s website as of now.

It takes a little digging on the Green Party’s website to find who their leader (Jane Sterk) is.

Democratic Reform BC’s site has not been changed since early 2007, and one can assume that the political party is moribund and will not be seriously competing this election.

The BC Marijuana Party will undoubtedly field a slate of candidates in the upcoming election; a good goal for them will be to make fourth place in popular support. Also, according to their site, the new Mayor of Grand Forks, Brian Taylor, was the first party leader of the BC Marijuana Party in 2001.

The BC Conservative Party has reverted back to their original (rather ugly-looking) site template, and have announced four candidates so far.

Other parties that have had some sort of activity (define this as “an update in half a year”) include the BC Libertarian Party, the Work Less Party and the Refederation Party of BC.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
