Arguing that the Liberal Party has opportunistically straddled the political centre since Sir John A. Macdonald - leaning left or right as circumstances required - Clarkson also shows that the party's grip on power is becoming increasingly uncertain, having lost its appeal not just in the West but now in Quebec. Its campaigns now reflect the splintering of the party system and the integration of Canada into the global economy."--Jacket 607 $aCanada$xPolitics and government$y1945- 676 $a324.27106 700 $aClarkson$b Stephen$0650752 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780514903321 996 $aThe big red machine$93760157 997 $aUNINA
