Non-Partisan Association

Non-Partisan Association

Die Non-Partisan Association (NPA, dt. Nichtparteiliche Vereinigung) ist eine lokale politische Partei in der kanadischen Stadt Vancouver. Sie wurde 1937 gegründet und versteht sich als Mitte-Rechts-Bewegung. Die NPA ist vor allem bei Unternehmern stark verankert. Ihr Name soll verdeutlichen, dass Parteipolitik zur Lösung von Problemen auf lokaler Ebene ungeeignet sei. Hauptkonkurrenten sind die Mitte-Links-Bewegung Coalition of Progressive Electors und die in der Mitte des politischen Spektrums stehende Vision Vancouver.

Bisher gehörten elf Bürgermeister von Vancouver der NPA an:

  • Jonathan Webster Cornett (1941–1946)
  • Gerry McGeer (1947)
  • Charles E. Jones (1947–1948)
  • George Clark Miller (1948)
  • Charles Edwin Thompson (1949–1950)
  • Frederick Hume (1951–1958)
  • William Rathie (1963–1966)
  • Tom Campbell (1967–1972, NPA seit 1970, vorher unabhängig)
  • Gordon Campbell (1986–1993)
  • Philip Owen (1993–2002)
  • Sam Sullivan (2005–2008)
