Leaders symbolize their party and are a primary factor in election outcomes. While much is known about the selection of national party leaders, less is known about the provincial selection process, particularly in the Maritimes. Breaking new ground, Conventional Choices examines twenty-five different leadership elections in three maritime provinces. The analysis draws on an extraordinarily rich data set spanning thirty-two years to explore the backgrounds, attitudes, and motivations of those who select party leaders. It is an impressive study that offers fresh insights into leadership selection and Maritime party politics. 606 $aLeadership 606 $aPolitical leadership$zMaritime Provinces 606 $aPolitical parties$zMaritime Provinces 606 $aElections$zMaritime Provinces$vStatistics 606 $aPoliticians$zMaritime Provinces$vBiography 606 $aPolitical conventions$zMaritime Provinces$xHistory 607 $aMaritime Provinces$xPolitics and government 615 0$aLeadership. 615 0$aPolitical leadership 615 0$aPolitical parties 615 0$aElections 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aPolitical conventions$xHistory. 676 $a303.3/4 700 $aStewart$b Ian$f1953 July 2-$01642877 701 $aStewart$b David Kenney$f1962-$01642878 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811091703321 996 $aConventional choices$93987810 997 $aUNINA
