  • Think About the Highlights of Your Day, Lessons Learned, Any Surprises, Quotes from Your Host, What You Found Most Interesting/Challenging, Etc.)
    2017 U of T Women in House Reflection • Name: Ashley-Nicole Harrison • Program: Master’s of Global Affairs • Year: First year • Name of your parliamentary host: Yasmin Ratansi Reflections: (Think about the highlights of your day, lessons learned, any surprises, quotes from your host, what you found most interesting/challenging, etc.) My time spent shadowing MP Yasmin Ratansi on parliament hill can be summed up as hectic, fast- paced, and inspiring. I sat in on a meeting for the Standing Council on Government and Estimates, saw Ms. Ratansi discuss meetings with commissioners from across North and East Africa, and watched question period in the House of Commons. The day was filled with surprising observations and poignant advice, but one aspect resonated the most deeply: the self-doubt that exists among even the most successful women, and their ability to overcome it. The themes of insecurity and self-doubt came up consistently during speeches as well as informal chats with the women in parliament. During a tour of the Supreme Court, Justice Rosalie Abella described her reaction to professional accomplishments as thinking “they want me?” Similarly, Minister Gould intimated that the fear of failure almost stopped her from running for office, while another MP Caesar-Chavannes described a persistent feeling of inadequacy and isolation that she has battled throughout her time in politics. On some level, I take comfort in knowing that women of their intelligence and fortitude struggle with the same feelings of insecurity that I do, but nevertheless manage to live their lives as trailblazers and leaders. When asked how she overcame uncertainty to pursue her goals, Minister Gould replied, “You just do it.” No one provides a better example of this than MP Ratansi, whose directness befits a woman who has built several careers in male-dominated industries.

  • Political Parties: State Organizations and Current Party Platforms
    Political 9 Parties Wisconsin political parties: state organizations and current party platforms Moon Crater (NASA) 864 WISCONSIN BLUE BOOK 2009 – 2010 POLITICAL PARTY ORGANIZATION IN WISCONSIN What Is a Political Party? A political party is a private, voluntary organization of people with similar political beliefs that vies with other parties for control of government. Political parties help voters select their government officials and create a consensus on the basic principles that direct governmental activities and processes. Political parties in the United States have traditionally provided an organized framework for the orderly performance of several basic political tasks necessary to representative democracy. Parties act to: • Provide a stable institution for building coalitions based on shared principles and priorities. • Recruit and nominate candidates for elective and appointive offices in government. • Promote the election of the party’s slate of candidates. • Guard the integrity of election procedures and vote canvassing. • Educate the voters by defining issues, taking policy positions, and formulating programs. U.S. parties offer a marked contrast to the party apparatus in other nations. In many parts of the world, political parties begin with defined ideologies and programs. Their members are recruited on the basis of these ideas, and there is not much room for disagreement within the ranks. In other cases, parties represent regional interests or ethnic groups. By contrast, parties in the United States are loosely organized groups reflecting a broad spectrum of interests. They are truly populist parties in the sense that they accommodate diversity and are instruments of party activists at the grass roots level. Political ideology, as stated in a party’s national platform, is formulated first at the local level and then refined through debate and compromise at meetings representing successively larger geographic areas.

  • Canadian Jurisprudence and Electoral Reform1
    1 Understanding Democracy as a Cause of Electoral Reform: Canadian Jurisprudence and Electoral Reform1 Richard S. Katz Dept. of Political Science The Johns Hopkins University Baltimore MD, USA This paper addresses the question of the sources of electoral reform that lie outside of the partisan political realm. In particular, it examines the case of electoral reforms that have been imposed, or that realistically might be imagined to be imposed, by the courts in Canada. The paper consists of three major sections. The first introduces the idea of judicial review as a source of electoral reform. The second lays out the major cases relevant to electoral reform that have been decided by the Canadian courts. The third attempts to impose some theoretical consistency on the Canadian jurisprudence in this field,2 and to suggest the possible consequences of adherence to this line of development. Introduction In an often cited article, Kenneth Benoit (2004: 363) presents a theory that “predicts that electoral laws will change when a coalition of parties exists such that each party in the coalition expects to gain more seats under an alternative electoral institution, and that also has sufficient power to effect this alternative through fiat given the rules for changing electoral laws.” In a similar vein, Josep Colomer (2005: 2) presents “a logical model and discussion of the choice of electoral systems in settings with different numbers of previously existing political parties.” These articles take clear positions on two long-standing and related debates. First (and most obviously the case with Colomer, but certainly implicit in Benoit) - and following a line dating at least to John Grumm’s 1958 article on the adoption of PR in Europe - they argue that party systems are best understood as a cause rather than a consequence of electoral systems.
