  • Religious and Social Influences on Voting in Greater Victoria*
    Religious and Social Influences on Voting in Greater Victoria* T. RENNIE WARBURTON The detailed investigation of voting behaviour by social scientists has shown that the idea that voters are informed, rational and public spirited and that they carefully weigh the pros and cons of policy before casting their ballots is invalid and at best a means of legitimating the political theory underlying democratic elections. Not only has it been shown that large segments of the electorate are ignorant of such matters as party platforms, the party that particular candidates represent and even the identity of major party leaders, but that political behaviour is better explained as a product of social experience than as the exercise of rational choice.1 Social experience in this context is usually seen in terms of such factors as age, sex, parents' party preferences and social class, the latter being measured either by such objective indices as occupation, income or level of educational achievement or by more subjective ones such as in which social class electors place themselves. In national elec­ tions held since World War II a considerable segment of the electorate in North America, the United Kingdom and a number of continental European and Commonwealth countries, appears to have voted con­ sistently for the same party, regardless of the main issues involved. These consistent voting patterns have been directly related to various socio­ economic factors and, particularly in Canada, to religion. John Meisel, in one of the earliest Canadian analyses of electoral behaviour, reported finding a relationship between religious affiliation and voting preferences in the 1953 Federal and the 1955 Provincial * Thanks are due to David Goburn and Clyde Pope for helpful criticism of an earlier draft of this paper.

(1) of the Election Act requires that: “During each Parliament of the Legislature, beginning on the first Monday in May in the third calendar year after the general election for that Parliament, there shall be, unless the Legislature is earlier dissolved, an enumeration of voters in all electoral districts.” A total of 6,607 enumerators were employed during Enumeration ‘89, which commenced on Monday, May 1st. Door-to-door visitations were completed on May 20th. Enumerators visited each residence in the Province in order to obtain completed and signed application cards from new applicants, and where residents were already registered, to confirm those registrations. If prospective voters were not at home at the time of the enumerator’s first visit, a second visit was automatically made. At that time, if they were again not at home, application cards were left for completion and return to the Registrar of Voters. Postage-paid envelopes were included for the convenience of the applicants. Residential visits were made from 9:00 a.m. - 9:00 p.m., Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday from 1:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. The revision of voters’ files was completed on July 28th.

By drawing on ideas put forward by government officials, journalists, residents, and travellers it develops an explanation for how and why a conception of the Gulf Islands as a ‘special’ or ‘unique’ pastoral landscape emerged as a result of interactions between individuals and groups, and their political, social, economic, and physical environments. It then examines how these ideas in turn influenced the development of land-use policies and programs, and in particular how an innovative, overarching planning commission called the Islands Trust emerged in 1974 as a mechanism devoted to limiting development and defending the Islands as a pastoral landscape of leisure.

Deer also continue to be a costly problem. - To help with information and direction on diseases and pests, such as the Spotted Wing Drosphilia: a fruit fly which is now established on the Saanich Peninsula fruit and berry farms.
