Document Summary
Social movements, interest groups, and citizen participation. Selection of party leaders: very few people belong to political parties in canada and those who belong are people over 50 years. These people will have a number of rally votes until someone gets the majority (need 50% support). Starting in the 1960s, more inclusive (designate groups)- they first made sure that some of those delegates were people who were historically underrepresenting. Second they guaranteed a certain proportionate of delegates. The youth wing get 30-40% of the delegates. This encourages young people in quebec to get involved in politics. Became more and more expensive- as you try to bring more people to the conventions and party leaders try to influence delegates then it becomes very expensive. Delegate would pay their debts for years: one member, one vote system- some parties have a modified version but the structured made by the ndp if you have a membership with the party you can vote.
