Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

Trudeau Liberals Lead Conservatives By 7 Points: Poll

OTTAWA - A new poll suggests two weeks of Conservative attack ads have done little to dim Justin Trudeau's honeymoon with Canadians.

The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey indicates the Liberal party has jumped to a seven-point lead over the Tories since Trudeau's landslide leadership victory last month.

Liberal support stood at 35 per cent, while the Conservatives dropped to 28 and the NDP to 22.

That's the highest level of support for the Liberals since March 2009, when the selection of Michael Ignatieff as party leader briefly buoyed Grit fortunes.

Trudeau's honeymoon could yet prove fleeting but, for now at least, the poll suggests it has weathered the barrage of Tory ads asserting that the new Liberal leader is "just in way over his head."

The telephone poll of 2,008 Canadians was conducted April 18-28 and is considered accurate within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points, 19 times in 20.
