- The Work Less Party was a political party in the Canadian province of British Columbia. The party was founded in 2003 by Conrad Schmidt and de-registered in May 2017. The primary aim of this party was to move to a 32-hour work week and its party slogan was "Work Less, Consume Less, Live More." The slogan describes the party's aim to encourage people to reduce their consumption, to be more environmentally and socially conscious, and to focus on real values. Instead of consuming, people are encouraged to spend time on family, friends, community engagement, art and creative endeavours, spiritual exploration, and athletic activities. The Work Less Party nominated eleven candidates for the May 2005 provincial election, who won a total of 1,642 votes (0.09% of the provincial total). None of the candidates were elected. In the 2009 provincial election, the party nominated two candidates who combined for 322 votes (0.02% of the provincial total). The party has also participated in municipal politics. Ben West ran for mayor of Vancouver in the November 2005 election, receiving 1,907 votes (1.47%). In the next Vancouver mayoral election, in November 2008, Betty Krawczyk ran for mayor under the Work Less Party platform, as did four people for councillor positions, though none were elected. The party had a federal wing, called the Work Less Party, between October 2007 and July 2010. The federal Work Less Party nominated one candidate: Betty Krawczyk in the Vancouver East electoral district during the October 2008 federal election. (en)
