List of political parties in British Columbia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until 1903, there was no party politics in the province, and governments rarely lasted more than two years as independent members changed allegiances. The first party government, in 1903, was Conservative. A list of political parties currently registered with Elections BC can be found at http://www.elections.bc.ca/reg/polpartiesreg.htm
