[edit] Pre-Party Period 1871-1903 requires writeup
'Nuff said, except that party politics are not the only kind of politics, which is the assumption built into the current article. Noted here for later writing, and for anyone else to offer material (Fishhead64 pls note). Skookum1 23:37, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
Man no mention of all our scandals, damn, B politics is like 1999 general election 77-2, bingo gate, glen clark casino etc.
You've put a note in the 1871-1903 section about 1999. Wake up, and put your notes where they belong. As for scandals, the two you've so Socreddishly invoked are the tip of the iceberg and not "the worst scandals in BC's history" as NeoLibs and ex-Socred types always paint them; try out the 1871-1903 period, and don't try and sweep Social Credit graft under the carpet. I think one reason the Politics (and History) sections/pages aren't fully written is because of the volatility of the details; BC is a very political place and its history is too involved to write dispassionately or impartially, not at least without losing its flavour and in many cases its factual content. Bingogate and Casinogate have articles, y'see; The Coquihalla Graft Scandal doesn't (Russell Bennett snapping up all the land in the Nicola Valley before his brother announced the construction of the Coquihalla) and the Solidarity Crisis (with Bennett breaking the constitution in order to stay in power) both don't have articles. Glen Clark is a mere fly in the ointment by comparison.....Skookum1 16:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
