There is no evidence in the Canadian election survey of voters punishing the Liberals for their shift to the right (as exemplified by cuts to social programs in order to eliminate the deficit).
Perhaps the tight focus on the 1997 election was achieved at some cost to a fuller and more probing examination of the historical context for the election.
It’s not clear enough, for instance, whether this election survey and the analyzes that form the core arguments of this book represent a continuation and confirmation of the claims of previous studies, or a significant departure therefrom.

 CBC News:Martin wins minority government   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
To be fair, the 65-year-old leader was bogged down with Chrétien's baggage leading into this election – the sponsorship scandal, the out-of-control costs of the gun registry, continued social division over same-sex marriage, and the perceived arrogance of the Chrétien team.
For one thing, the timing of the election call was suspect, with the Liberals still slipping in the polls over fallout from the sponsorship scandal and the Conservatives' new leader, Stephen Harper, enjoying a honeymoon with the media.
Looking ahead to another election within the next year – or two at the most – Martin has some tough choices to make, choices that will call on all the management skills he learned in the business world.
