Argument for Slate Civic Politics (outside Metro Vancouver)

Over at this blog - Bernard Van Schulmann argues for reasons why slates are necessary to defeat sitting incumbents on municipal councils

See here

Although formal slates are frowned upon in this region, informal slates or candidates working together for a common cause in a muncipality, like Quesnel, WL, 100 Mile or even Wells, may be acceptable to the public, if you can explain how the "team" can improve the muncipality and in fact, we could see that possibility here in Williams Lake and even maybe in Quesnel/100 Mile again

(slate politics occured in 2008 Civic Election in 100 Mile with "100 Mile First Team" but ultimately the slate saw all their candidates defeated)
