Document Summary
Lecture 4 jan 30th 2014: the canadian electorate: voting by education level. Without high school far less likely to vote. Education biases election so how might this affect policy?catering to ppl who have completed university degree eg same sex marriage support will be higher among ppl that have completed univ. degree;policies in economic terms a bit more elite favored. Liberal types of attitude come out of these ppl- social issues will be a bit skewed: voting by age. Robert patnum blames tv and now maybe internet for this bcz for younger generation most leisure time is taken by self oriented where you dnt interact wid ppl much. You feel like you have done something if you have liked something on fb. Opinion of older ppl will matter a lot more then young voters eg issues on pension more likely to be solved. So this affects policy that who the electorate is and who it caters too.
