What does it take to win the White House? This text helps students understand both the issues and how and why people vote for a candidate.

Special attention is paid to battleground stat

Both scathing inquiry and sad tale, this book tells how Canada’s supposedly democratic system of representative government has slipped into a highly centralized decision-making operation. It is a case-by-case study of party politics, the decline of the MP’s role in Parliament, and the impact of the media. When it comes to federal budgets, new laws, or holding the government to account, can our parliamentary system truly represent the best interests of citizens?
