Southern Lakes (electoral District)
Southern Lakes was an electoral district in rural Yukon which returned a member (known as an MLA) to the Legislative Assembly of the Yukon in Canada. It was one of the eight rural ridings in the Yukon at the time. Southern Lakes was originally created as part of the 2002 Electoral Boundaries Commission when the riding of Ross River-Southern Lakes was divided into the ridings of Southern Lakes and Pelly-Nisutlin. Southern Lakes retained the communities of Carcross and Tagish and merged with the bedroom community of Marsh Lake. The riding was also part of the traditional territory of the Carcross/Tagish First Nation, the Teslin Tlingit Council, the Kwanlin Dün First Nation, and the Ta'an Kwach'an Council. It was bordered by the rural ridings of Pelly-Nisutlin, Kluane, and Lake Laberge, as well as the rural-residential riding of Mount Lorne south of Whitehorse. The riding was held by the Yukon Party's Patrick Rouble during its brief existence. In the 2009 electoral redist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Independent (politician)
An independent politician or non-affiliated politician is a politician not affiliated with any political party or bureaucratic association. There are numerous reasons why someone may stand for office as an independent. Some politicians have political views that do not align with the platforms of any political party and therefore they choose not to affiliate with them. Some independent politicians may be associated with a party, perhaps as former members of it or else have views that align with it, but choose not to stand in its name, or are unable to do so because the party in question has selected another candidate. Others may belong to or support a political party at the national level but believe they should not formally represent it (and thus be subject to its policies) at another level. In some cases, a politician may be a member of an unregistered party and therefore officially recognised as an independent. Officeholders may become independents after losing or repudiating a ...

Yukon Liberal Party
The Yukon Liberal Party () is a political party in the territory of Yukon, Canada. The party is not organizationally linked to the federal Liberal Party of Canada in any official manner. History After twenty years as a minor party, the Yukon Liberal Party won the 2000 general election and formed a government under Premier Pat Duncan. The government, however, was reduced to minority government status. Duncan called a snap election for November 2002 in the hope of regaining her government's majority.
