Clark's popular vote
Anyone here find it shocking that even though Joe Clark only got 36% in comparison to Trudeau's 40%, he was only 6 seats away from a majority government (little swings in a couple of ridings would've made a difference)? 99.243.193.100 (talk) 11:42, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I find it shocking to the point of being wrong. 40% is usually more than enough for a majority government, and yet the Liberals lost? I'd like to see a reference on those popular vote numbers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.145.122.127 (talk) 10:04, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * i would encourage you to research this yourself; the numbers are correct. the way to understand the situation - as is often the case in canadian elections - is to look at movement on the left, between the liberals and the ndp. what happened this year is that about 3% support moved from the liberals to the ndp. this allowed clark to very badly split the vote. clark's numbers did not move from the previous election.


 * the reality in canada is that the conservatives do not experience much movement, and what determines elections is whether the liberals can control the left or not. the only counter-example to this that i am aware of is brian mulroney's win in 1984, on the back of strong support from quebec separatists. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.84.130.106 (talk) 17:41, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

NPOV dispute - conservative party bias
the entire narrative here seems like it was written by the conservative party. it does not discuss the following important facts and factors in the election:

1) clark did not experience a measurable increase in popular support. 2) the movement in the election was primarily from the liberals to the ndp. 3) clark therefore won not on a popular surge, but by accidentally splitting the vote. 4) the factors in the movement from the liberals to the ndp (namely, the liberals' broken promises to the left). 5) the conflicts between clark and the socreds that led to the socreds pulling support (it wasn't about a gas tax; clark refused to work with them, and they pulled support for him.)

i am not going to do this rewrite, but i am going to remove certain lines that are clearly biased.
