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 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. -
