In a previous post concerning Quesnel City Councillor Sushil Thapar - I received the following comment:
what's needed is a slate approach to the next election....a slate of 7 with an identified platform to change the current situation top to bottom. out with the old, in with the new. it will take that to make a clean start in what has become a very sour place all because of personal gripes between a few so called leaders.
As I've previously commented - generally speaking, direct slate elections for local governments in this area are generally frowned upon by local voters'. Although we have had "unofficial" slate elections in that individuals ran for election but band together to make decisions on the local City Council, thus creating the "unofficial" slate
Now, with the political shanangans in Quesnel - I wonder if this commentor is saying Enough is Enough! and let's wipe Quesnel City Council in 2014 and start anew & the other question that remains is whether or not these commentor speaks for the "silent majority" in Quesnel or not. Time will tell - but my prediction is that a slate solution for the top political issue for Quesnel Council at the moment will likely be a non-starter for many... but with a convincing advertising campaign in 2014 to Quesnel voters' - a "brand-new" Quesnel Council in November 2014 is a distinct, however remote, possibility

Maybe not an official slate, but for sure a clean slate, done unofficially or informally. Problem is, who wants to risk getting dragged into that nest if there is no clean slate.
