02) - Explain why the Conservative Party won the General Election of 1959 – (12 marks)…
The liberal’s victory in the 1906 was a very significant one due to how they won it with such an overwhelming majority; it was the biggest electoral victory since 1832. In the 1890’s the liberals were suffering from a crisis identity and they were lacking in money and morale. In the 1906 election the liberals won 49.4% of the vote and that amounted to 399 seats which was such a large margin compared to in 1900 where 45% of the vote was only 183 seats. There are four main reasons arguably why the Liberals won the1906 election and these are through Conservative faults such as the massacre in the Boer war. The education act in 1902 and Chamberlain’s tariff reform campaign also lost the conservatives a lot of support, which meant people turned to liberals just due to disliking the conservatives. The most important reason was Arthur Balfour getting involved and not making the right decisions for the conservatives and losing a lot of the voters they had before. The liberals also used a very negative campaign in order to get voters to realise the flaws in the conservative’s ideals and make them vote for the liberals just through dislike of the other parties.…

The CCF was J.S. Woodsworth most successful accomplishment. “Over the years, both Liberals and Conservatives adopted policies first proposed by the CCF…” Even though things didn’t change instantly Liberals and Conservatives began to like many of Woodsworth’s and the CCF’s ideas. After a slow start, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) changed its name and became one of the three main political parties in Canada. “The NDP was created in 1961 as a merger of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation and the Canadian Labour Congress.” The CCF was falling apart and along with changing the name came people who decided to stick with the old one.

There are many reasons for and against the federation of Australia. These reasons will be conveyed in this essay. Before the federation Australia consisted of six colonies of Britain. Before 1872 the British colonies had nothing to do with each other, although a telegraph linked the colonies and the idea of being “Australian”. By the 1890’s songs and poems were being written to celebrated a nation and the idea of becoming a federation was becoming much more popular.

Mark Anderson and Paul Ashton (Historians) support this. There are many reasons for the federation, which will be looked at later on. These are some of the reasons against the federation of Australia.…
This question focuses on the importance of the Second Reform Act in Disraeli’s rise to the top of the Conservative Party and his emergence as the leader.

Progressives believed that every level of government (national, state, & local governments) were outmoded, inefficient, and corrupt. Progressives also believed the two dominant political parties (the Democratic & Republican Parties) were corrupt, undemocratic, and traditional. The progressives implemented the “Secret Ballot or Australian Ballot”. This ballot chipped away at the power of political bosses and political parties and increased the power of the voters. Also election recall gave voters the right to remove a public official from office at a special election which could be called after voters collected the required amount of signatures on a petition to recall a governmental official. They were successful because they gain major support from Women and Social Workers.…
