New Democratic Party of British Columbia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2405 words)
The New Democratic Party of British Columbia is a democratic socialist political party in British Columbia, Canada.
It is the provincial arm of the New Democratic Party of Canada.
The party was formed in 1933 as the British Columbia section of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) by a coalition of the Socialist Party of Canada (BC), the League for Social Reconstruction, and affiliated organizations.
Leadership convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (824 words)
Unlike in the United States, where political conventions are held every four years to choose the party's presidential nominee, in Canada the leader of a party generally remains that party's de facto candidate for Prime Minister until such time as he or she dies, resigns or is dismissed by the party.
In the New Democratic Party and some of its provincial branches, the position of party leader was treated as all other positions on the party's executive committee, and open for election at party conventions generally held every two years though incumbent leaders rarely face more than token opposition.
Prior to that the leader of the party was chosen by the party's parliamentary caucus.
