  • Political Legitimacy and Regime Change: the 1972 British Columbia Election
    POLITICAL LEGITIMACY AND REGIME CHANGE: THE 1972 BRITISH COLUMBIA ELECTION by Della Roussin B.A., The University of British Columbia, 2009 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) September 2012 © Della Roussin, 2012 Abstract The 1972 British Columbia general election marked the end of the twenty-year dominance of the Social Credit Party and Premier W.A.C. Bennett. Dave Barrett led the New Democratic Party to its first majority government ushering in the first Social Democratic government in the province's history. The reversal of Social Credit fortunes in 1972 should not be seen, however, as a rejection of the core values of the Social Credit party, but rather as a crisis of legitimacy faced by the party and its aging leader. As a case study, the 1972 election provides an opportunity to examine the agenda-setting function of media during an election campaign and the effects of declining political legitimacy and trust on voter behaviour. ii Table of Contents Abstract.......................................................................................................................................... ii Table of Contents ......................................................................................................................... iii Political Legitimacy and Regime Change: The 1972 British Columbia Election ................... 1 Bibliography ................................................................................................................................ 44 iii Political Legitimacy and Regime Change: The 1972 British Columbia Election On June 7, 1972, five hundred angry protesters descended on the Royal Towers Hotel in New Westminster, British Columbia, a suburb of Vancouver. They had gathered to greet the Social Credit premier, W.A.C. Bennett, and his cabinet ministers on the final stop of a province- wide pre-election tour.
