Conservative Party of Canada

their respective political parties. Besides the unconscious first impressions, the Canadian public typically understood very little about the individuals that may lead the country. Reasonably so, Canadian leaders are not always in the spotlight unless major events occur such as a law implementation or a tragic disaster. The lengthier campaigns simply create additional leaders debates and speeches. These additional demonstrations allow citizens to have a higher interest in party policy and their…

Election night, 1984, brought to an end the era of Liberal domination in the House of Commons, “nearly sixteen consecutive years” (Stevie Cameron 2005, pg. 15). Brian Mulroney, leader of the progressive conservatives, since 1983, (Cameron, pg. 16) swept through the nation obtaining “50 percent of the popular vote” (Professor Lewis). This historic victory was the culmination of a nation’s exhaustion and discontentment with the then current Liberal government (Cameron, pg. 14). The Mulroney…

mere fact that the Liberal Party will use the victory as a mandate to enact their agenda. This paper will argue that the Liberal Party’s victory was the result of a adept campaign that was able to capitalize on the advantages given to it. This paper will be organized in the following way. First it will describe how and why the citizens of Canada were tired of the Conservative party that led to this change. Second it will argue that the relative similarity of the parties made the pragmatic…

Despite salient critiques on the nature and content of postmodernism , there is still little agreement in any field about the aesthetic criteria defining this avant-garde of artistic movements. Indeed, even the notion that postmodernism retains the nom de guerre “avant-garde” is debatable when considering commentary such as Richard Schechner’s Post-Post-Structuralism? in TDR and hghghghghghg. In her introduction to Postmodernism, an analysis of contemporary visual art, Eleanor Heartney…

reinforces findings of Riemann et al., (1993), Van Hiel et al., (2000), Jost et al., (2009) and Lee et al., (2010) that Openness is relevant in predicting political ideology. In particular, those individuals who are less open tend to be more political conservative (Sibley & Duckitt 2008). However, it is important to note that political ideology was not identified by participants’ Openness alone. Moderation of political knowledge was vital. In parallel, the levels of knowledge of politics are…

these preconditions was captured in the 1960s by Otto Kircheimer’s ideal-type of the ‘catch-all’ party. The elements of this ideal-type are evident in the development of New Labour. Firstly, Kircheimer identified the explicit dropping of ideological baggage. This was symbolised by New Labour’s infamous rewriting of Clause IV of its constitution.” . Curtice concurs, suggesting that ‘ideologically the party moved to the right, symbolised by the abolition in 1995 of Clause IV of its constitution.’…

Every Wednesday, current Prime Minister, David Cameron, meets in the House of Commons for half an hour to answer questions from Members of Parliament. These questions are meant to address current events both international and domestic, and have come to be known as Prime Minister Questions (PMQs). All Members of Parliament must write their questions for the Prime Minister on the Order Paper several days prior to the PMQs. Once submitted, the questions are then sorted through, scrambled, and…

The first exposure of his liberal perspective comes into view when he further describes the campaign’s slogan as “the same loaded language as the conservative political activists”, immediately giving the readers the conclusion that he is of the opposing side (Sirota 760). And while the target is more directed towards the same political party he is in, the choice of words within this paragraph makes his point less credible because the display of his biasedness is blunt. It is not wrong for a…

conveys how the struggle, in which the National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies formed a coalition with the Labour Party, eventually lead to women’s suffrage. By doing this, suffragists allowed women’s suffrage to be included in the 1918 Representation of the People Act. This path was not easy as it took years of hard work, determination, and the help of several political parties forming coalitions. The women and advocates for women’s suffrage were not deterred by the times and they fought…
