Liberal Party

While both structure and agency played a key role in the replacing of the Liberal party with Labour it could be said that structure worked more as a catalyst while agency played a direct part in the replacement of the Liberal party; it could be argued “structure and agency [cannot] be divorced” (McHugh, 2001, p.6). While values giving way to class and an electorate tripling in size does create some convincing arguments that structure is the best explanation for Labour replacing the Liberal party as the main opposition to the Conservatives it seems that agency underpins these; the argument that the Liberals failed to find an unchanging ideological position seems to run through the core of their demise; this mixed with their apparent insecurity…

bit to realize how to achieve it. After the advanced polling, the two major parties running against each other are the Conservative party and the Liberal. The Globe’s election forecast has estimated that if the election happened today, the NDP had a 0% chance of achieving the most seats, where the conservatives have a 22% chance, and Liberals are the favorites with 79%.

In 2015 the Liberals engineered one of the greatest political comebacks of a generation going from thirty-four seats in parliament to a stunning one hundred and eight four, despite the fact they were trailing in third place when the campaign began (Andrew-Gee, 2015).

This paper will argue that the Liberal Party’s victory was the result of a adept…

Once upon a time there was a girl named Abby Morton who lived in a house in a small town surrounded by cornfields. Abby drove an hour to class four days a week. For Abby’s political science class she was told to take an ideology test to determine if she was a conservative or a liberal. I am Abby and I am a liberal, this is my story. Before I took this test I understood the difference between the liberal party and the conservative party. Did I really care if I was a member of either party? No,…

The Liberal Party originated in the reformist opposition groups that emerged in the mid-19th century in what are now the provinces of Quebec and Ontario “Rouges” (Reds) in the former and Clear Grits in the latter. The looseness and instability of all party formations at the time were especially persistent on what came to be called the Liberal side. Both before and after the 1867 creation of the Canadian federation, the Conservatives under Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada’s first prime minister,…

The Liberal Party has been governing Canada for many years. They were able to govern for many years because they used the formula for success, which is the straddling of political center, created under the leadership of Sir Wilfrid Laurier. The liberal party has been successful over the years, having created many governments and gave Canada more than 10 prime ministers.

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is the key party initiating changes which have affected the transformation of the Japanese political system and the beyond recognition of the two leading parties (LDP and (DPJ) for many decades. It can be seen that the LDP set out to demolish the once prevalent myth which Japanese politics is a stagnant set of entrenched interests systems that seem basically undemocratic for the opposition parties. In fact, Japanese parties and politicians are increasingly…
