The contents of the Green Party of British Columbia leadership election, 2007 page were merged into Green Party of British Columbia on October 5, 2011.

Some examples:
- "Parker's first term (1993-96) was characterized by near-continuous touring of rural BC which had, up to that point, negligible or highly intermittent organization outside of the Okanagan and Comox Valleys. This touring paid off in yielding on-going organization throughout the province, enabling the party to come just four candidates short of a full slate."
- "Although he was arrested in logging road blockades in 1993 and 1997, Parker's Greens actually invested more resources in opposing the BC Benefits package of welfare reforms and working on other social issues than it did on any significant environmental issue."
- "Although the campaign only submitted enough signatures in four of the province's 79 ridings, Free Your Vote was successful in mobilizing new support for reform. But it also appears to have hardened the party's support for a single model of proportional representation (mixed-member, closed-list) and public condemnation of others."
- "Running a candidate in Delta South, where the party had no organizational strength whatsoever, probably caused the defeat of Vicki Huntington, a green-leaning city councillor running as an independent."
- "Another factor was the party's inability to counter the polarized environment and vote-splitting rhetoric, a staple of BC politics, that had temporarily lost credibility during the 2001 campaign, but returned with new force in 2005. Carr's initial seizure of power based on opposition to Parker-era NDP coalitions left the party with little room to manoeuvre."
A lot of effort has been put into this article and, not particularly knowledgeable on GPBC history myself, I'm hesitant to wipe the slate clean. But clearly a lot of stuff in this article is speculation or opinion. Kelvinc 05:21, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
Should there be a separate article for the 2020 Green Party of British Columbia leadership election? There is already an article for the federal race. It seems like in the past BC Green leadership races have been merged into this article (see the 2007 race, which now redirects here). It seems like the current Ontario leadership race has its own article. Not sure if there is a reason no one has started a BC Green one yet. Is there some consensus about this which I am unaware of?--Darryl Kerrigan (talk) 23:17, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
