Klein's cakewalk
Article Abstract:
Klein's Progressive Conservative Party won an additional 12 legislative seats in the Mar 1997 elections despite the party's 20% cuts in government expenditures. The win is due to Klein's popularity in part, but also due to widespread acceptance of the need for fiscal conservationism.
