  • Electoral Bias in Quebec Since 1936
    Canadian Political Science Review 4(1) March 2010 Electoral Bias in Quebec Since 1936 Alan Siaroff (University of Lethbridge) * Abstract In the period since 1936, Quebec has gone through two eras of party politics, the first between the Liberals and the Union Nationale, the second and ongoing era between the Liberals and the Parti Québécois. This study examines elections in Quebec in terms of all relevant types of electoral bias. In both eras the overall electoral bias has clearly been against the Liberal Party. The nature of this bias has changed however. Malapportionment was crucial through 1970 and of minimal importance since the 1972 redistribution. In contrast gerrymandering, ultimately involving an ‘equivalent to gerrymandering effect’ due to the geographic nature of Liberal core support, has been not only a permanent phenomenon but indeed since 1972 the dominant effect. The one election where both gerrymandering and the overall bias were pro-Liberal — 1989 — is shown to be the ‘exception that proves the rule’. Finally, the erratic extent of electoral bias in the past four decades is shown to arise from very uneven patterns of swing in Quebec. Introduction In common with other jurisdictions using the single-member plurality electoral system, elections results in the province of Quebec tend to be disproportionate. This can be seen in Table 1, which provides some summary measures on elections since 1936 — the time period of this analysis. Average disproportionality over this period has been quite high at 20.19 percent. This has almost entirely been in favour of the winning party, with the average seat bias of the largest party being 19.65 percent.

  • 1 Separatism in Quebec
    1 Separatism in Quebec: Off the Agenda but Not Off the Minds of Francophones An Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Politics in Partial Fulfillment of the Honors Program By Sarah Weber 5/6/15 2 Table of Contents Chapter 1. Introduction 3 Chapter 2. 4 Chapter 3. 17 Chapter 4. 36 Chapter 5. 41 Chapter 6. 50 Chapter 7. Conclusion 65 3 Chapter 1: Introduction-The Future of Quebec The Quebec separatist movement has been debated for decades and yet no one can seem to come to a conclusion regarding what the future of the province holds for the Quebecers. This thesis aims to look at the reasons for the Quebec separatist movement occurring in the past as well as its steady level of support. Ultimately, there is a split within the recent literature in Quebec, regarding those who believe that independence is off the political agenda and those who think it is back on the agenda. This thesis looks at public opinion polls, and electoral returns, to find that the independence movement is ultimately off the political agenda as of the April 2014 election, but continues to be supported in Quebec public opinion. I will first be analyzing the history of Quebec as well as the theories other social scientists have put forward regarding separatist and nationalist movements in general. Next I will be analyzing the history of Quebec in order to understand why the Quebec separatist movement came about. I will then look at election data from 1995-2012 in order to identify the level of electoral support for separatism as indicated by the vote for the Parti Quebecois (PQ).

  • The Dealignment and Realignment of Right-Wing Parties in Canada: the Fragility of a ‘Big Tent’ Conservative Party
    The Dealignment and Realignment of Right-Wing Parties in Canada: The Fragility of a ‘Big Tent’ Conservative Party. Duane Bratt and Bruce Foster Department of Economics, Justice, and Policy Studies, Mount Royal University, Calgary, AB Abstract. The history of right-of-centre political parties in Canada is replete with cycles of internal fracturing, which are then followed by periods of cohesion and stability. The conservative movement in Canada, federally and provincially, has a history of splitting into different political parties and then reuniting, thus repeating the cycle. This occurs at a frequency not shared by other parties of different ideological perspectives. Drawing in part from recently-uncovered confidential documents, specifically, efforts undertaken in the mid-1960s by Premier E.C. Manning to unify the Alberta Social Credit and Progressive Conservative parties, this paper undertakes to identify and explain the factors underlying this penchant for conservative political parties, especially in western Canada, to undergo the process of division and reunification as frequently as they do. We explain the conservative inclination for political party dealignment and realignment by examining three propositions: 1) Why does this process occur almost exclusively among right-of-centre parties? 2) Why has western Canada – Alberta in particular – been the prime location for this process, both historically and contemporarily? 3) What are the conditions and/or prerequisites underlying the process dealignment and realignment? We also consider four hypotheses to test the soundness of our claim. This paper makes the case that the process of dealignment and realignment is a common characteristic of right-of-centre parties, particularly in western Canada.

Canadian Discord Over the Charlottetown Accord: The Constitutional War to Win Quebec I. Introduction "Do you agree that the Constitution of Canada should be re- newed on the basis of the agreement reached on August 28, 1992 - Yes or No?"' This was the question posed to the citizens of Canada in a nation-wide referendum held on October 26, 1992.2 The agreement of August 28, 1992, known as the Charlottetown Accord, proposed a package of sixty amendments to Canada's Con- stitution.3 Though the Accord addressed issues ranging from aborigi- nal self-rule to the establishment of new provinces, the heart of the agreement was a collection of provisions designed to keep Quebec from seceding from Canada.4 The natural isolation of French-speaking Quebec from English- speaking Canada has its origins in the colonial period of North America.
