King and chaos : the 1935 Canadian general election / David MacKenzie. by MacKenzie, David Clark, 1953- UBC Press, 2023.

Parliament -- Elections, 1935.   Elections -- Canada.   Depressions -- 1929.   Political parties -- Canada -- History -- 20th century.   Political campaigns -- Canada -- History -- 20th century.   Canada -- Politics and government -- 1914-1945. ISBN:  9780774868808 (pbk.) Alternate title:  1935 Canadian general election Description:  xv, 285 p. : ill., maps ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "A study of the groundbreaking inclusion of third parties in the Canadian election of 1935. In 1935, Canadians went to the polls against the backdrop of the Great Depression and deteriorating geopolitics. The election was like no other, as five major parties competed for voters who were used to a traditional slate of Liberals versus Conservatives. 'King and Chaos' examines the significance of this turning point in political history. As the Conservative government splintered under the weight of outdated policies, the opposition Liberals watched the destruction. Meanwhile, the newly minted Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, Social Credit Party, and the Reconstruction Party broadened the electoral base, bringing working-class Canadians -- and working-class issues -- more directly into the political process. Although Canadians ultimately swept Liberal Mackenzie King back into power, [the book] demonstrates that the advent of third parties transformed the political landscape. And while other countries turned to dictators and demagogues, King delivered a less radical but equally important change: an effective electoral machine and a national coalition of French and English Canada that dominated politics for the next generation." David MacKenzie is a professor of history at Toronto Metropolitan University. He is coauthor of Embattled Nation: Canada’s Wartime Election of 1917 and Canada 1911: The Decisive Election That Shaped the Country (both with Patrice Dutil). He is also the author of A World Beyond Borders: An Introduction to the History of International Organizations.
