Bloc British Columbia Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Bloc British Columbia Party is a minor political party in British Columbia, Canada, that was formed in 2004 to contest both provincial and federal elections on a platform of independence for British Columbia.

Its leader is Paddy Roberts.

In the 2005 BC provincial election, the party nominated three candidates, who won a total of 276 votes (0.02% of the provincial total):

  • Brian Taylor won 174 votes (0.83% of the total) in Nelson-Creston,
  • A.J. van Leur won 54 votes (0.25%) in West Kootenay-Boundary, and
  • Paddy Roberts won 48 votes (0.21%) in Shuswap.

British Columbia has two other minor parties that promote independence (the Western Canada Concept Party of British Columbia) or autonomy (the Western Refederation Party of British Columbia) for the province.
