Consider The Political Culture of British Columbia (BC). How Does It Affect BC Politics?
Every country and region have its own unique political culture. The different political practices are usually determined by the history of a country or a region, and it is what shapes the current and probably the future political patterns. In this study, we are critically looking at the political culture of British Columbia and its effects on the region's politics.
British Columbia is situated in the west of Canada. It shares its borders with some Northwestern states of the US, Alaska, Pacific Ocean, Yukon, and Alberta. It is a province that is divided into two unequal representations, where the first part is very urbanized and densely populated towards and around Vancouver. The other part is the interior one that is not so much populated and mainly host many industries dealing with different economic activities like farming, and mining that many depend for survival (Daigle 2016, 261). During the 18th and the 19th centuries, British Columbia was governed independently from Canada, and it joined the Canadian Federation in the year 1871 with its capital as Victoria as an independent entity with its terms.[Blake, "Value Conflicts in Lotusland: British Columbia Political Culture." Politics,Policy, and Government in British Columbia (1996): 1]
British Columbian politics is the most sophisticated compared to the rest of the provinces elsewhere in the whole of Canada. This is mainly due to influence from their neighbors, the Americans, considering that America has a very stylish and flamboyant political culture. The introduction of political parties first happened in BC in the early 20th century, with the province adopting a two-party political system. The system is conventional in other provinces (Daigle 2016, 261). The two parties that were adopted are the Conservative Party and the Liberal Party, which both led the province in a well-behaved manner where they alternatively controlled the leadership of the province.[Blake. "Value Conflicts in Lotusland: British Columbia Political Culture." Politics,Policy, and Government in British Columbia (1996): 1]
The culture of Liberal and Conservative parties exchanging the leadership mantles of the province led to the rise of opposition with two parties coming up. The first one was the New Democratic Party, NDP, which was formed and supported by the working class and the labor unions. Secondly, is the Social Credit Party, Socreds, which was formed and backed by religious persons and the small business people. These new parties took particular strongholds within the province and became popular, and their organizations were not affected by the existing political establishment (Blake 1996, 1).
In 1904 the two established parties, Liberal Party and Conservative Party, merged to form a coalition that was named Liberal-Conservative Coalition to fight off and ground the recently formed opposing parties. Unfortunately, it did not work. It was overthrown in the 1950s, and a new political regime was established in BC under NDP and Social Credit.Between the years 1952 and 1991, Social Credit led the province while NDP remained in the opposition...
