Strategists for the B.C. Green Party and Marijuana Party are huddling. Want to know why? Read The Tyee’s new Election Central blog from today to May 17 and you’ll be on top of all the campaign issues, insights and scuttlebutt.

There are more than a few blogs tracking B.C. politics. We call ours a ‘superblog’ because it folds together all of this:

• Regular postings by politically savvy Barbara McLintock, Will McMartin, Scott Deveau, Heather Ramsay, Tom Barrett, Tom Hawthorn, Steve Burgess and many more Tyee regular contributors.
• Cues to The Tyee’s latest in-depth election news stories and analysis.
• Updates on what other media are saying, other bloggers are posting.
• The opportunity for you to not only comment but submit blog items to Election Central managing editor Monte Paulsen ([email protected]).

Centrepiece of larger section

The Election Central blog is the centerpiece to The Tyee’s Election Central section. Go there from The Tyee’s main page, or go straight to www.electioncentral.ca, and you’ll also find:

• Battleground BC (Will McMartin’s exclusive seat projection model. As fortunes shift in ridings around the province, He updates his riding by riding forecasts and analysis, updated as fortunes shift in).
• The Spin (all the press releases from the four leading parties).
• Politics Reported Elsewhere (links to election reports and views from other publications).

Need your political fix more than once a day? You’ll get it at Election Central. Expect more special features to be added in coming days. And don’t hesitate to pass along tips, links, and news from your corner of BC. Send it to Election Central Managing Editor Monte Paulsen at: [email protected]
