A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

Emerging from the 2000 federal election, the dominance of the Liberal Party seemed assured. By 2011, however, the situation had completely reversed: the Liberals suffered a crushing defeat, failing even to become the official opposition and recording their lowest ever share of the vote. Dominance and Decline provides a comprehensive, comparative account of Canadian election outcomes since 2000. The book explores the meaning of election outcomes within the context of the larger changes that have marked Canada's party system since 1988. It also demonstrates how noticeable trends can help to explain the radical results of the 2011 election.
