Dave Barrett and the NDP in B.C.

Publisher:  Kaen Publishers, Canada
Resource Type:  Book

Nixon and Kavic's premise is that the government of Dave Barrett was a disaster for British Columbia. There is mention of the achievements such as Pharmacare, the saving of Oceans falls, rent control etc... They do not approach the subject from an ideological point of view but acknowlege the double standard of media coverage beween the NDP and Socreds. The conclusion is that the NDP failed because of an opposition united against a Social Democratic programme.
