	British Columbia Social Credit Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For three decades, the party dominated the British Columbian political scene, with the only break occurring between the 1972 and 1975 elections when the New Democratic Party of British Columbia was in power.
		Running under the name British Columbia Social Credit League, the party won the largest number of seats in the 1952 provincial election under the interim leadership of a Reverend Haskell, who was brought in from Alberta to lead the party.
		Although the party was ostensibly the British Columbia wing of the Canadian social credit movement, Bennett cast aside the party's social credit ideology in favour of a mixture of populism and conservatism.

		The current policies of the Conservative Party are also somewhat more ideologically "hard-line" than the policies of the PC party ever were, though they have softened a bit as a result of compromises leading to the merger.
		At party conventions all the party members in the country (or their elected "delegates") get to elect or re-elect their party leader, and pass various resolutions to alter the party platform.
		Of all the "fringe" parties their poll numbers remain highest, and some have speculated the party may eventually unseat the NDP as the new voice of the progressive left.

		It was during the late reign of the conservative Social Credit government, prior to the accession to power of the social-democratic New Democratic Party (NDP), that the labor movement found expression in the 1983 “Operation Solidarity” movement.
		The terms of labor contracts concluded by mutual parties were openly altered by legislation, unions who expressed contempt through labor action were legislated back to work, and social welfare services were slashed as massive tax cuts for the wealthiest citizens came hand in hand with the privatization of public assets.
		CUPE's leadership, which hadn't yet issued a strong position on the strikes, came out in support of them and announced that all of the union's 70,000 workers in the province would be out on the picket lines by Monday at the latest.

	Grassroots Politicians: Party Activists in British Columbia. by David Mitchell (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Grassroots Politicians is actually a series of studies based primarily on a survey of the opinions of delegates attending the provincial leadership conventions of the Social Credit, NDP, and Liberal parties in 1986 and 1987.
		The reason offered for the failure of the province's parties to converge towards the political centre is that they are constrained by the attitudes of their activists.
		British Columbia's Social Credit Party is portrayed as a party of social and economic elites who exhibit homogeneity on some issues, divisions on many others, and possess clear linkages to the federal Progressive Conservative Party.

	September 11, Social Theory, and Blowback:
		Social theories generalize from past experience and provide accounts of historical events or periods that attempt to map, illuminate, and perhaps criticize dominant social relations, institutions, forms, trends, and events of a given epoch.
		This is not to argue for an utopic pacifism, but to argue against militarism in the sense that the military is offered as the privileged solution to the problem of terrorism and in which the military is significantly expanded, as in the Bush administration massive military build-up, and promotion of unilateral military action.
		In the wake of September 11, I am suggesting that local, national, and global democratic movements should be for democracy, peace, environmentalism, and social justice and against war, militarism, and terrorism, as well as the multiplicity of injustices that social movements are currently fighting.

		Not surprisingly, with this kind of discouragement from the party leadership, not many resolutions originating with the grassroots have ever got to be official party policy and so is the plight of the Liberal Party member who is forced to toe party line no matter how much it hurts their honest conscience.

		Too much news in Washington, sadly, is driven by the press' insistence on waiting for the opposition party to cry foul about some action before covering it, and Democrats are for the most part (mutedly) critical of the steel move from the left, not the right.
		One Democratic leadership aide suggested that the plan offered a chance for Gephardt to shield himself from attacks by constituent groups that perhaps felt left out during his time as leader.
		He was perceived as the only Republican who could have won the seat back for the party, so Democrats are thrilled and berrying us plenty about how this development, and a few others yesterday, affect their chances of winning back the House.
