从少数特权到全民普权:加拿大联邦选举权的扩大

FROM THE PRIVILEGED RIGHTS OF THE MINORITY TO THE UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE:THE EXPANSION OF THE CANADIAN FEDERAL VOTE

加拿大议会选举制度始于殖民地时代,但是直到20世纪60年代加拿大才真正实现联邦普选。阻碍加拿大联邦选举权扩大的主要因素是英裔当政者保守的政治、社会、种族和宗教理念,推动力量则主要是伴随着工业化而来的工人运动和战争的冲击及影响。加拿大联邦选举权的扩大,经历了复杂的漫长过程,纵向特征以渐进为主,横向透视则显示出极大的不平衡性,这在一定程度上折射出加拿大崇尚改良的政治文化和多样化的国情。

The electoral system of Canadian parliament began in the colonial era, but until the 1960s did Canadian federal universal suffrage come true. The main factors hindering the expansion of Canada ＆#39; s federal right to vote include the conservative political, social, ethnic and religious philosophy of Anglophone rulers, and the driving force is mainly associated with the labor movement in industrialization and influence of two world wars. The expansion of the Canadian federal vote is a complex lengthy process, characterized by a progressive-orientation and great imbalance, which to some extent reflects the Canada＆#39; s political culture and diverse conditions.
