Paul Forseth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Forseth - BC Conservative Party - New Westminster | Think It Through
I'd love to have a conversation with Paul Forseth, he strikes me as the type of politician elected because he was a member of xxx party rather than personal merit.

Given Forseth's prior political experience, he certainly presents as highly qualified. The "vote4paulnw" page, however, absolutely does not indicate a strong candidate. I'll grant the page's extremely poor grammar a pass, but the basic errors in word usage, false dilemmas, straw mans, and most importantly, the reliance on generalized rhetoric over detailed explanations of positions is outright embarrassing. I would expect the level of quality presented from a teenager running for student council, not from a MLA candidate and former MP.

On another note -

I think I've narrowed by decision down to BCNDP, Excalibur (they have quite a good platform), Green, or writing in my own name.
