Just One Vote: From Jim Walding's Nomination to Constitutional Defeat - Stewart, Ian

Clean, tight, unmarked; corner turned on p.49; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; very minimal wear; On Jan 12/86, MLA Jim Walding was nominated as the NDP candidate in the Manitoba constituency of St.Vital in a tightly fought three-way nomination struggle. Although Walding had been an MLA for 15 years, he had fallen out of favour with key elements in his party, and he won the nomination by only a single vote. Two years later, Walding would unexpectedly bring down his own government by a single vote, marking the only time in the history of Canadian politics that a majority government was brought down from within. Using extensive research drawn from archives, interviews, and the media, this is a vivid retelling of this dramatic moment in Manitoba and Canadian politics.
