 abstract = {The flexibility of Canadians’ partisan attachments makes elections risky business for all political parties. In the 1990s the risks parties run when they go to the people increased as party identifications became weaker and less stable. We contend that these properties of partisanship have important consequences. At the individual level, they enable short-term forces associated with feelings about party leaders and attitudes towards currently salient issues to exert strong effects on electoral choice. At the aggregate level, the widespread absence of durable partisan allegiances, coupled with persistent dissatisfaction with parliamentary representation and party performance, facilitate rapid, large-scale changes in support},
