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 some members of the Reform Party of British Columbia, including its president. In the year preceeding the formation of Democratic Reform BC, Tom Morino had previously founded the British Columbia Democratic Alliance and the British Columbia Democratic Coalition. Both the British Columbia Democratic Alliance and the British Columbia Democratic Coalition failed to ever get off the ground.
