New West Progressives

Common card · No. 342050

The New West Progressives (NWP) are a municipal political party in the city of New Westminster, British Columbia. The party was originally formed as a citizen-led, non-partisan and not-for-profit association in 2017 whose purpose was to contest elections in the city; however, since 2018 they are a political party certified by Elections BC (according to their homepage). The NWP have no formal affiliations with other political parties at the municipal, provincial, or federal level. They were the first municipal political party to be formed in New Westminster. While the party's name might suggest that they follow the political principles of progressivism, the party is generally described as being conservative, sitting to the right of labour-endorsed centre-left to left-wing candidates. Their principle opponent in civic elections is Community First New West, an affiliate of the New Democratic Party.
