8. Representation in Action: Canadian MPs in the Constituencies

Author

Koop, Royce, Bastedo, Heather, Blidook, Kelly, Koop, Royce, Bastedo, Heather, and Blidook, Kelly

Subjects
Representative government and representation--Canada--Case studies
Abstract

Canadian members of Parliament (MPs) are often dismissed as “trained seals,” helpless to do anything other than take commands from party leaders. Representation in Action challenges this view of MPs and shows that the ways they represent their constituents are as diverse as Canada itself. Royce Koop, Heather Bastedo, and Kelly Blidook examine the activities MPs engage in to represent their ridings and determine what accounts for differences in style and agency. Drawing on original observational and interview research and featuring detailed in-depth case studies, this is the first book using intensive participant-observation methods to study Canadian MPs and representation.

Abstract

The modern election campaign is a well-oiled machine. Campaigns are won by the smallest of margins. Strategists provide incentives for specific market segments, and potential voters are identified well before the writ is dropped. However, few questions are asked in those same war rooms when certain groups stay home – namely young people. Young people are largely ignored at election time, and in turn, those under 30 ignore elections. Drawing on 20 focus groups conducted in Canada in 2014, this paper compares politically engaged and less engaged communities of young people to learn how they feel about politics and political leaders. This effort builds a better understanding of why some communities of young people are less interested and engaged in politics which is vital to our understanding of turnout decline among youth, as it is these communities of young people who have almost entirely tuned out of political affairs.

12. The Problem of Young Voters: A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis.

Author

LeDuc, Lawrence, Pammett, Jon H., and Bastedo, Heather

Subjects
*YOUTH in politics, *VOTERS, *VOTING, *POLITICAL participation, *POLITICIANS
Abstract

The article presents an analysis on the participation of the young voters in a turnout decline. The research reveals that young people hesitate to cast votes due to a consciousness of a lack of political knowledge and information and a belief that electoral participation will be actualized when issues have become more salient later in their lives. Findings further that the young people's negativity towards political institutions and personalities manifests their rejection towards the conflictual norms of politicians' behavior toward each other.
