Unsteady state

"Unsteady State is an analysis of voter behaviour during the 1997 election. The book addresses the kinds of common-sense questions that interested voters and observers asked, such as: Did the media treat all the parties fairly? Did the leadership debates have any impact on the outcome of the election? What about Reform's Quebec attack ads? Did Canadians vote strategically? Why did the Liberals lose seats when the economy was performing better? How did leaders help or hurt their parties?

Why couldn't Reform win any seats in Ontario? Why did the NDP do better in Atlantic Canada? Do values matter to the way people vote?"--BOOK JACKET.
