Sorry for the confusion.<br /><br />Meanwhile I'm waiting for a few more details on some already-nominated Conservative candidates, and have a few Green candidates to catch up on, and then I'll be running another look at nominations by type (e.g., acclaimed, contested, etc.), and by date of nomination.<br /><br />The Conservative numbers for nominated women are creeping up too lately, by the way.The Pundits' Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538508466559680720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184617903759486778.post-56483143395182968722010-01-17T21:32:19.209-08:002010-01-17T21:32:19.209-08:00Hi Alice,

I have to laugh at the PC's 1993 number being 50%, reminds me of that old joke that Jean Charest's wife was sleeping with half the caucus.William Normanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09917124934686638223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184617903759486778.post-32364362856800569382010-01-17T19:48:07.581-08:002010-01-17T19:48:07.581-08:00Hi LS,

I realize my site doesn't display that information yet (although it's on my to-do list to add it), so here are the historic percentages, for your information:<br /><br />Percent of elected candidates who were women, by election, by party, 1988-2008<br /><br />ELEC | Lib | NDP | BQ_ | Cons-CA-Ref, PC<br />____ | ___ | ___ | ___ | _________<br />1988 | 16% | 12% | ---- | 13%<br />1993 | 20% | 11% | 15% | 13%, 50%<br />1997 | 24% | 38% | 25% | 7%, 10%<br />2000 | 23% | 38% | 26% | 11%, 8%<br />2004 | 25% | 26% | 26% | 12%<br />2006 | 20% | 41% | 33% | 11%<br />2008 | 25% | 32% | 31% | 15%<br /><br />Thanks for the gender-analysis of 2008 nomination contests. It's a useful contribution.The Pundits' Guidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14538508466559680720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184617903759486778.post-82851792832858814452010-01-17T18:13:15.799-08:002010-01-17T18:13:15.799-08:00There was a female candidate in Parry Sound-Muskok...There was a female candidate in Parry Sound-Muskoka but she withdrew 3 days before the nomination for personal reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
