Endorsements

Should the endorsements of Liberal candidates who didn't win their ridings be mentioned? Wynne's campaign, for example, mentions a number at the bottom of this page. Esn (talk) 05:49, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also, what about leaders of Young Liberal organizations (i.e. here), do they get mentioned? I'm trying to figure out how prominent an individual has to be to be included under "other prominent individuals". Esn (talk) 05:57, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would say no. My opinion might be different if such endorsements were relevant for getting on the leadership ballot or if such people had a special vote (akin to the MP/MEP portion of the UK Labour Party's electoral college). But listing endorsements really just shows the person's popularity in certain parts of the party. While listing them might tell us something, we should remember that we are talking about hundreds of new names potentially being added. And I add that what they might tell us is very little. After all, what is to be gathered from the fact that the student representative for the Sprott School of Business supports Wynne? -Rrius (talk) 06:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what my opinion is on the topic as a whole, but these people (even the student rep form the Sprott School of Business) are in fact ex-officio (automatic) delegates to the convention, must like the MP/MEP portion of the UK Labour Party's electoral college. (Basically, ridings get to each have 16 (?) delegates, and there are also hundreds (600?) of ex-officio delegates (MPPs, Ontario MPs who are members of the party, former MPPs, riding president, student club execs, etc.). --Hamiltonian (talk) 19:33, 14 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

What about media? Pupatello has received support from the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail this week. --Natural R_X 02:44, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
