2004 Canadian federal election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Trontonian (talk | contribs) at 18:10, 2 April 2004 (possible constitutional crisis). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

A Canadian federal election (also known as a general election) will most likely be held in 2004, although it could theoretically be delayed until as late as November 2005. The exact date is officially up to the Governor General, who formally has the sole power to dissolve Parliament but the Governor General usually carries out the wishes of the Prime Minister – failure to do so would create a constitutional crisis. At one point most pundits had expected an election in the late spring, but issues such as the inquiry into the sponsorship scandal may delay the call.

Canadian voters will elect a new House of Commons (the lower house of Parliament). If the currently governing Liberal Party of Canada does not win a majority of seats, the prime minister may resign and the Governor General would then invite the leader of a different party to form a new government. The prime minister is more likely, though, to continue governing as a minority government, perhaps through an alliance with another party.

All the major national parties will run under different leaders in this next election than the last, held in 2000. This election will also mark the debut of the new Conservative Party of Canada.

Major Parties

The following parties currently hold seats in the House of Commons and will be the most closely watched during the election. Their leaders, with the exception of Layton, all presently sit in the House.

Liberals : Paul Martin
Conservatives : Stephen Harper
Bloc : Gilles Duceppe
NDP : Jack Layton

For a full list of parties and their current seats, see below.

Paul Martin and the Liberals

Until the sponsorship scandal, most pundits were predicting that new Prime Minister Paul Martin would lead the Liberals to a fourth majority government, possibly setting a record for number of seats won. However, polls released immediately after it broke out showed Liberal support down as much as 10% nationwide, with greater declines in its heartland of Quebec and Ontario.

Opposition parties

In the final months of 2003, the New Democrats, the Progressive Conservatives and the Canadian Alliance were running a distant second, third and fourth, respectively, in public opinion polls.

Many pundits predicted that the combination of the popular and fiscally conservative Martin, along with continued vote-splitting on the right, could lead to the almost total annihilation of the Progressive Conservatives and Canadian Alliance. This fear has prompted those two parties to form a united Conservative Party of Canada, which was approved by the Canadian Alliance on December 5, 2003 and by the Progressive Conservatives on December 6, 2003.

The new Conservative Party has pulled ahead of the NDP in the most recent polls, although its support has been well below the combined support that the Progressive Conservatives and the Alliance had as separate parties. On March 20 the Conservatives elected Stephen Harper as its new leader.

Prior to the announcement of the union of the right-of-centre parties, some were predicting an NDP official opposition. A new leader (Jack Layton) and clear social democratic policies may allow the NDP to make breakthroughs in all regions of the country.

The Bloc Québécois (BQ) continued to slide in the polls in 2003 after the election of the strongly federalist Quebec Liberal Party under Jean Charest and during the long run-up to Paul Martin becoming leader of the federal Liberals. Support for sovereignty also continued to slide. However the Charest government rapidly became quite unpopular, and this, combined with the federal sponsorship scandal, led to a strong resurgence of the BQ, which moved well ahead of the federal Liberals in the polls in February 2004.

2004 federal representation

Due to the 2001 census, Canada's 301 electoral districts will increase to 308. Boundary changes will take effect across the country to even out population redistribution, and seven new districts will be formed. Each province has a minimum amount of seats, and therefore it is rare for a province to lose seats in a redistribution. These changes still need to be passed by the House of Commons (as of December 12, 2003); they are expected to take effect in April 2004.
