democratic reform british columbia

Democratic Reform British Columbia (Democratic Reform BC or DRBC) is a progressive/centrist political party in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It is the result of a merger between the British Columbia Democratic Coalition (an umbrella grouping of the British Columbia Democratic Alliance, British Columbia Moderate Democratic Movement and British Columbia Labour Party) and the All Nations Party of British Columbia. It also attracted much of the Reform Party of British Columbia, including its president. DRBC has one member in the Legislative Assembly, Elayne Brenzinger, who was elected as a BC Liberal in 2001 but left the party and sat as an Independent from March 22, 2004 to January 19, 2005. DRBC aims to be "fiscally responsible, socially progressive, and support the Single Transferable Vote" system that is proposed for BC elections. The party held its founding convention on January 15, 2005 in White Rock, British Columbia, and adopted a policy manual and constitution. Tom Morino was unanimously elected as interim party leader. It plans to run candidates in all 79 ridings in the coming provincial election.
