Summary:

The Hill Times: Best Books of 2016 Written by the foremost authorities, The Canadian Federal Election of 2015 provides a complete investigation of the election. A comprehensive analysis of the campaigns and the election outcome, this collection of essays examines the strategies, successes, and failures of the major political parties: the Conservatives, the Liberals, the New Democrats, the Bloc Québécois, and the Green Party. Also featured are chapters on the changes in electoral rules, the experience of local campaigning, the play of the polls, the campaign in the new media, the role of the debates, and the experience of women in the campaign. The book concludes with a detailed analysis of voting behaviour in 2015 and an assessment of the Stephen Harper dynasty. Appendices contain all of the election results. The Canadian Federal Election of 2015 is the tenth volume in a series that has chronicled every national election campaign since 1984.
