Tom Morino

Tom Morino

Tom Morino is the former leader of Democratic Reform British Columbia, a progressive/centrist political party in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.

Tom currently is a councillor for the municipality of Sooke. He works as a lawyer in Victoria BC.

He ran for the British Columbia Liberal Party in the 1986 and 1991 elections, and was defeated both times. In the 2001 election, he backed former New Democratic Party Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) Rick Kaspar who was running as an independent.

His goal has been to model the DRBC after the pre-Gordon Campbell Liberal Party or the shortlived and unsuccessful Progressive Democratic Alliance formed by Gordon Wilson.

The party was founded in January 2005 by the merger of the British Columbia Democratic Coalition, the All Nations Party of British Columbia, and elements of the Reform Party of British Columbia. He describes himself as a social democrat. He was a candidate for the party in the 2005 provincial election, but polled only 4% of the vote in his constituency.

On June 1, 2005, he announced that he would step down as leader to allow "some good people to join in the race for a new leader, and the signing up of new members who share our vision." Morino did not rule out being a candidate in such a race himself.
