New Political Party in B.C.

B.C. FIRST (BCFP) Offers Alternative

An article in today's Times Colonist reports that Vancouver HandyDart driver Sal Vetro has registered a new poltiical party in BC which he feels will provide BC voters an alternative to the Liberals and NDP.

Vetro describes his party as a "centrist, pro-democratic party" ran for the Canadian Alliance Party in the 2,000 federal election and until this summer was a member of the BC Conservative Party.

Currently there are 23 political parties registered in BC which is partially the result of the fact it costs no money for anyone to form a political party and the only requirement is to file an annual form and run at least two candidates within two elections.

Although Mr. Vetro is an active anti-HST campaigner there is no political association with Anti-HST founder and former premier Mr.Vander Zalm with the new party.

Comment: I believe that Vetro is right in his feelings that people in BC are pretty much fed up with both reigning parties, whether he will offer what is seen as a viable alternative will be seen in the next election.
