Was the Conservative Majority Predictable?
نویسنده
چکیده
Canada’s 41 national general election saw the Conservative Party increase its seat count from 143 to 166, thus giving it a majority of the national parliament’s 308 seats. By contrast, nearly all of the pre-election seat count forecasts predicted a Conservative minority only. We examine the extent to which simple statistical models could or could not have predicted the Conservative majority prior to the election. We conclude that, by using data from the previous (2008) election appropriately, the Conservative majority should have been anticipated as the most likely outcome.
