[edit] I am not a fan of this page

this page seems redundant and awkward. why is there a Mayor subsection? why isn't that stuff covered in the Sam Sullivan? or in Vancouver municipal election, 2005? or in Non-Partisan Association? Also on a slighty different note, why does the Vancouver municipal election, 2005 have a page, and the 2002 election doesn't? 2002 stuff doesn't belong in here. Geedubber 01:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Basically, all this stuff used to be on the main Vancouver page. It was taking up way to much room, so it needed to be moved to a new page. That is what I did. Sure, the 2002 election needs a page but I have been too busy to make one. Can you do it? Canuck89 03:29, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

IMO, I think a {{main|Sam Sullivan}} would make more sense for the Mayor subsection. Or a {{main|Vancouver municipal election, 2005}}. Or both. Buchanan-Hermit™..SCREAM!!!.... 03:57, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

I disagree considering those are only short term solutions. There have been many political elections, mayors, scandals, political upsets and actions occur in Vancouver, and there will be many more in the future. This section should comprise a summary of all past and future notable political events in Vancouver. The only unfortunate thing about this article is that it only has events from the last couple of years. Ideally this article should be expanded to give a history of Politics in Vancouver and then include internal links for the reader who wishes to read more about a certain area covered.
