The loss of political power in 1925 to the conservatives unwittingly drove Mackenzie king into causing the king-Byng affair. Before the elections of 1925 king was especially confident in himself and his party in winning the election. The reason as to why he was so very assured in his winning the election was due to his relations with a psychic. He consulted with a psychic known as Mrs. Bleaney on whether or not he would win the up and coming election this psychic communicated with the spirits in the “great beyond”. And would allow Mackenzie king to talk to the dead (relatives, mentors, dead dogs, etc...) through her. This discussion with the psychic would invigorate Mackenzie king raising his belief that he would end up being prime minister
