	PRQ98

		The unit of measure is individual provincial ridings and the dependent variable is whether the winning candidate in the riding election is a woman (1=female, 0=male).
		The gains are especially dramatic in urban districts (conditions 2, 5, 8, 11) where the probability of an MLA being a woman is 14-34 percent higher in the 1990s than it was in the mid-1970s.

	How Preston Manning Missed the Wave (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Canada's single-member district-plurality electoral system strongly rewards small parties (like Reform and the Bloc Québécois) that concentrate their votes in a single region, while punishing parties that spread their votes broadly across the country, as the Conservatives did in 1993.
		At the provincial level, corruption and senescence caused the British Columbia Social Credit Party to collapse, leaving a void on the right into which Reform could have moved.
		By refusing to enter provincial politics, Reform squandered an incredible opportunity to build a serious power base, create a sense of political momentum and allow its partisans to have undivided party loyalties at the federal and provincial levels.
