quiet on all fronts report from acton opp go go thudbau bob bonnette junior politician an enthusiastic but ineligible vote by barb mcintosh democracy can really rniwll hit it can be really great loo u long as you are not indifferent aays bob bonnette an ib year old student in the acton high school who probably knows more about polities right now than a lot otellgiblu voters recently for an assignment in mr martlndales grado 12 geography class he produced a el of three maps and an essay in which he pointed out tho strengths of tho threo major political parlies in tho provincial suctions of 1984 18lmandmado some interesting predictions on he next oleellon somowhoro in the future ii was a task thai wasnt easily done ovor night in fact it look bob a few months in write to the provincial legis lature at queens park and or ganise tho hals of eloctod mps in the various ridings i tried to do the project from the point of vlow of tho historian so that it would not bo biased one way or tho othor says bob in the essay ho gives an explanation for he elections of mps in various areas of the province southern ontario is almost entirely a conservative bloc east of peterborough thoro wore no liberal or new democratic mps elected this is probably duo to the lacl that this area has been a conservative bloc since confederation this is the area in which the very british united empire loyalists settled in 1703 and people have uphold the family tradition of being tories from their fathers and iholr fathers before them it is also a very rural area and conservative policies re garding agriculture must have been acceptable here conser vatism seems to appeal to the farmers of southern ontartowlth the exception of the liberal bloc in mldaouthwestorn ontario especially the brantford area this is probably due to the fact that liberal leader dobert nixon resides in dranl county the liberal party taredpoorly in the 1967 ulectton for one thing they had just acquired a new leader with utile parlia mentary experience and they were unprepared for an election liberal party funds were lower than those of the other two parties the government in power always has funds at its disposal while the ndr was partly supported by unions in this election tho electorate wanted a clearcut choice bet ween the party in power and the alternative party in the loft wing tho electorate wanted no part of a middleoftheroad parly and this explains why the ndp wont from 9 seals to 20 and tho liberals from 21 to 28 tho ndp strength hub mostly in the industrial areas of toronto hamilton and peter borough the factory worker tends to loan towards socialism and tho ndp as they have por- haps more lo offer factory- workors than tho othor two on tho basis of trends and former olcllons bob makos predictions for tho futuru unless tho pcs pass more useful loglslatlon and pay more attention to the probloms of northern ontario it will most certainly lose tho north entirely to tho othor two partlos in the noxt olocllon also if the prusonl trend con tinues the ndp will become even stronger in the industrial arose or centres of ontario giving second and third place to the conservative and liberal partlos otherwise unless something happens betweon now and tho noxt olocllon i can safely say that the progressive conservative parly will retain its strength in southern ontario the liberals on the other hand are becoming atrongor in tho rural area southwest of toronto niagara and tho southern tip of southern ontario essex county if those present trends con tinue i feel than i can safely say that in the next olocllon the pcs will again be reulerted bit perhaps in a minority government the ndp will bc- como stronger than over unless annual inspection st john brigade the actongeorgetown
