Vancouver: NPA prepares for some soul searching
An NPA campaign manager said the party will be in for some serious soul searching whether or not Peter Ladner wins tonight's election.
"The NPA I think will go through a really important and necessary reconfiguration," said Margot Paris, campaign manager for NPA council candidate Michael Geller.
Speaking in a swanky ballroom at the Marriot Renaissance Hotel, Paris said the centre right NPA shares many sensibilities with Vancouver's business community.
She suggested that the party must become more inclusive if it wants to remain a vibrant political force.
"We have to throw open the tent," she said, referring to a need to attract candidates and support from a broad range of Vancouver constituencies. "There are some old school factors at work."
