With the way that the NPA has planned out their candidate selection process, the above signs have little to do with the reality of the current political climate in Vancouver.
For the first time in years, it seems as though the NPA is showing signs of life by organizing a number of events for the fall. A pub night, followed by a fundraiser with former NPA Mayors as the main attraction, moving onto a public forum are all being circled on the calendars of the remaining fifty members of the party who bother to show up to events.
All of these events are designed to create the perception of momentum as the party/association/political entity moves towards November 20th, when the party intends to nominate its candidates for next year’s election.
Here, however, is why these series of events are unlikely to divert attention away from the lacklustre results that that nomination meeting is likely to produce.
