NDP still rising in national polls

Timothy Gillespie — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 10:04:41 +0000

FROM 308.COM: If the New Democrats prevail in October's election, June will have been the month where it became possible. For the first time since 2012, and thanks to some massive spikes in support in a few battleground regions of the country, the New Democrats led in the monthly averages last month.

It was a busy month of polling, perhaps as the pollsters get in their final numbers before breaking for the summer. In all, 11 national and two Quebec polls were conducted, with a grand total of 27,224 interviews.

The NDP led in June with an average of 32.6% support, a jump of 4.1 points since May, their fourth consecutive month of increase, and their best score since August 2012.

Next election ‘very likely’ most expensive in Canadian history, say political insiders

Timothy Gillespie — Mon, 30 Mar 2015 11:21:44 +0000

FROM THE HILL TIMES: The Oct. 19 federal election is expected to be the most expensive in Canada’s political history because, for the first time, the election date is known and pre-election spending will be big, say MPs, party strategists, and third-party organizations.

“If third parties take a leaf out of our book, then it could be informative and helpful advertising. If they decide to go negative and follow the way Mr. Harper’s party runs ads, we can find ourselves in a toxic swamp.” Elizabeth May, Green Party leader

The House of Commons is scheduled to start its summer recess on June 23 and won’t return until after the Oct. 19 election. This means that MPs, political parties, and third-party groups are going to start campaigning for the next election almost full-time right after the adjournment of the House and will continue until the election day.

The spending cap for the major national parties in the last election was around $21-million. According to Elections Canada, in the last election, the New Democratic Party spent $20,319,567, the Liberal Party $19,483, 917, the Conservative Party $19,457,420 and the Green Party spent $1,924,478.
