| | Leadership convention - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Unlike in the United States, where political conventions are held every four years to choose the party's presidential nominee, in Canada the leader of a party generally remains that party's de facto candidate for Prime Minister until such time as he or she quits or is dismissed by the party. | | | In the New Democratic Party and its provincial branches, the position of party leader was treated as all other positions on the party's executive committee, and open for election at party conventions generally held every two years. | | | He was elected to parliament in a by-election on May 13, 2002 and became leader of the opposition on May 21, 2002. |

| | Leadership Convention |
| | At the 1995 Progressive Conservative convention, at which Jean Charest was unopposed in his bid to succeed Kim Campbell, the Tories approved a proposal whereby future leaders would be chosen by a direct vote of all party members in the entire country. | | | The decade following the Progressive Conservative convention of 1983 and the Liberal convention of 1984 ushered in an era of party soul-searching and, ultimately, reform. | | | Canadian leadership conventions are not held at regular, stated intervals. |

| | NDP votes to dilute labour influence over leadership |
| | However, the convention opted in the end to approve a compromise resolution proposed by former federal leader Ed Broadbent, reserving 25% of delegates for labour and allowing the remainder to be chosen via a one-member-one-vote system. | | | Meanwhile, delegates defeated (by a vote of 684 to 401) a resolution to dissolve the NDP and create a new party, with a new name, based on the environmental, anti-poverty and anti-globalization movements. | | | Ken Georgetti, president of the Canadian Labour Congress, said after the vote he wished the convention had tried harder to bring about a compromise between the "two solitudes" within the party. |

| | Bud Wildman was interim leader of the NDP in the Ontario legislature from Rae's resignation as an MPP to Howard Hampton's election as party leader. | | | The NDP became the Official Opposition with 38 seats and 29% of the vote as the result of a brilliant election campaign that forced the Tories to promise to implement the NDP's rent control policies. | | | NDP support fell even further in the 1999 election, leaving the party with just 9 seats. |

| | ESR January 27, 2003 The NDP Leadership Convention 2003: Day One |
| | From the youngest MP in Canadian history at 22, the NDP's wunderkind was now viewed by the grassroots as one of the Establishment or even worse, the closest thing they had to a Tony Blair, a Neo-Liberal in Paleo-Liberal clothing (even Blair had endorsed constitutional reform and reform of the Upper House). | | | When one delegate made a speech saying that youths should be encouraged to join the NDP and the President of the Youth Wing concurred, saying that there was nothing wrong with youths attending political conventions, these empty banalities were met with the most vigorous applause I had heard all morning. | | | He repeated that old shibboleth that "our long-held goal was a NDP federal government," but everyone had clearly heard this old applause line before, such a mild reception it received. |

| | Roger Lagasse is a British Columbia high school principal who ran for the leadership of the federal New Democratic Party in 1989 (see NDP leadership conventions). | | | His campaign was centred around environmental and children's issues, combining a generally "radical left" outlook with a pro-life position on abortion. | | | To the surprise of many, he received enough votes on the convention's first ballot to recover his deposit (despite finishing in last place). |

| | This was a significant vote considering the clarity of Kormos' declared willingness to translate his proposals into concrete mass action against the Harris government including utilizing extra-parliamentary methods irrespective of the outcome of the leadership elections. | | | Such political independence is critical not only for the long term development of class consciousness, but also for the strengthening of the basis for success in the struggle against the vicious attacks by monopoly capital. | | | This is also significant considering the implications of this success in moulding the ambitions of leading elements of the party, as well as within the labour bureaucracy associated with the NDP. |
