  • Desperately Seeking Representation: an Investigation Into Visible Minority Electability Under Vancouver’S At-Large Electoral System
    Desperately Seeking Representation: An Investigation into Visible Minority Electability under Vancouver’s At-large Electoral System by Matthew G. Smith A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts in Human Geography Graduate Department of Geography University of Toronto © 2011 Desperately Seeking Representation: An Investigation into Visible Minority Electability under Vancouver’s At-large Electoral System Matthew G. Smith Master’s of Arts Degree in Human Geography Department of Geography University of Toronto 2011 Abstract The results of Vancouver’s 2008 municipal election led to critiques that South Asian candidates, and possibly all visible minority candidates, face reduced electability under Vancouver’s at-large electoral system than they would under a different municipal electoral system. This thesis employs numerous quantitative research methods to assess whether visible minority candidates do face reduced electability under the at-large system compared to a ward system proposed for Vancouver in 2004. The extent that Vancouver’s 2008 election results fulfil three U.S. Supreme Court conditions for establishing minority vote dilution is also assessed as part of this thesis research. ii Acknowledgments Profound thanks to my wife, Heather Fussell, who supported me through my doubts and confusion and without whom the completion of this thesis would not have been possible. I am also indebted to my supervisor, Dr. Alan Walks, whose guidance and input was invaluable in helping me plan and execute my research and write this thesis. I would also like to thank my sister, Annabel Smith, who helped with editing and pep talks and my “coach”, Laurel Jebamani, whose skills and feedback assisted me in successfully applying to the University of Toronto.
