  • Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention
    Canadian Political Science Review 4(1) March 2010 Ahead to the Past: the Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention Ian Stewart and David K. Stewart (Acadia University, University of Calgary)* Abstract Since Confederation, the electorate responsible for the selection of Canadian political party leaders has progressively widened; by the end of the twentieth century, most parties were employing some variant of the universal ballot (thereby giving all party members a voice in leadership selection). Nevertheless, the 42 person executive of the Nova Scotia Progressive Conservatives rolled back this democratic tide by organizing a delegated convention to replace departing leader John Hamm. The Conservatives justified their decision by claiming that such a convention would be the most fair, the most equal, and the most exciting way to select their new leader. This article demonstrates, however, that these claims are difficult to substantiate. There was much drama on voting day, but the Conservatives were, in fact, very fortunate in that respect. Equality between constituencies was heightened, but only at the cost of introducing a substantial inequality between individual party members. As to fairness, it seemed entirely irrelevant to the proceedings. Ultimately, not even a majority of delegates approved of the change in process. Even in “counter-revolutionary” Canada, democratizing claims are difficult to resist. Since Confederation, changes in the federal franchise have widened the pool of Canadian citizens able to participate in the electoral process by eliminating restrictions based on class, gender, and race. Once members of a social group have become eligible voters their subsequent disenfranchisement has rarely been contemplated and never achieved.

  • The 2006 Provincial Election in Nova Scotia
    63 The 2006 Provincial Election in Nova Scotia - Lori Turnbull, Dalhousie University1 Abstract Rodney MacDonald, the youngest premier in Nova Scotia’s history, made an election call on May 13, 2006. He had been the leader of the Progressive Conservative party for only three months, but was certainly no rookie politician. He was elected to the legislature first in 1999 and went on to hold several cabinet portfolios in John Hamm’s government, including immigration and tourism. Not quite three years had passed since the last provincial election in 2003, but MacDonald was eager to try to upgrade the PC minority government to a majority and to establish a mandate for himself as leader of the province. When all was said and done exactly one month later, MacDonald ended up with two seats fewer than he had at dissolution. The New Democrats were the clear winners, picking up five seats, while the Liberals slipped by one.1 The results were no surprise to political pundits and seemed to confirm the durability of Nova Scotia’s three-party system. In this brief article, I review the events and issues that defined the 2006 campaign. 1. Nova Scotia Politics, Pre-dissolution The Conservative government’s generosity in April of 2006 was a warning sign that an election call was near. Premier MacDonald traveled the province bringing good news to a whole host of causes, including a pledge of $6.4 million for research on offshore oil and gas (Canadian Press, ctv.ca, April 28, 2006). The legislature re-opened with a Speech from the Throne on May 4 that promised, among other things, tax cuts and investments in schools, hospitals, roads, and affordable housing (CBC News, cbc.ca, May 5, 2006).

  • The Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention Paper
    Ahead to the Past: The Return of the Delegated Leadership Convention Paper prepared for the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association, University of Saskatchewan, 2007 By David Stewart, University of Calgary and Ian Stewart, Acadia University Even in “counter-revolutionary” Canada, democratizing claims have proven difficult to resist. Since Confederation, changes in the federal franchise have invariably served to widen, rather than narrow, the pool of Canadian citizens able to participate in the electoral process. Once members of a social group have become eligible voters (and the earliest franchise contained restrictions based on class, gender and ethnicity), their subsequent disenfranchisement has rarely been contemplated and never achieved. Virtually all Canadian adults are now eligible to vote; even so, it is likely that, through re- defining “adult” to include those aged sixteen or seventeen, the franchise will be further widened in the future. A similar pattern has been apparent in the selection of Canadian party leaders. Again, the eligible electorate has progressively widened. In the period immediately after Confederation, the preference of a single individual, the Governor-General, was decisive. This power subsequently devolved, first to the parliamentary caucus and, after World War I, to delegates of the rank and file membership. Again, the effect was like a ratchet pawl; no return to the status quo ante was possible. By the end of the twentieth century, a new notch had been gained. Canadian political parties replaced the delegated convention with some variant of the universal vote (and thereby gave all party members a leadership ballot). Although many members of the academy fulminated about this change,1 it too was widely regarded as irreversible.

  • On the Cusp of Change? the Nova Scotia House of Assembly
    On the Cusp of Change? The Nova Scotia House of Assembly by Jennifer Smith and Lori Turnbull Since 1989 there have been five general elections in Nova Scotia and only two major- ity governments. In 1998, 2003 and 2006, the voters returned minority govern- ments, including the current PC government under Premier Rodney MacDonald. The dynamics of successive minority governments have wrought interesting changes in the House of Assembly. They include the need of the governing party to work with the leaders of the other political parties in order to gain the support of one or other or both of them for the government’s legislative agenda; the enhanced role in the legislative process of legislative committees that feature more opposition than government members; and the increased importance of the elected member simply by virtue of the minority situation in the House. This article looks at the socio-demo- graphics of the members; the services and facilities available to them and the party caucuses; and the relationship between the government and the opposition, includ- ing the selection of the speaker, the legislative committees and the productivity of the legislature. It concludes with an appraisal of the overall strengths and weaknesses of the House of Assembly as a legislative institution in its own right and from the standpoint of the climate of democratic expectations that exists today. ovaScotiais While such major struggles are behind it, the Assem- the pioneer of bly remains a trailblazer in other aspects of parliamen- Nparliamentary tary government.
