Nova Scotia general election, 2003
Encyclopedia
The 36th Nova Scotia general election was held on August 5, 2003 to elect members of the 59th House of Assembly
of the Province of Nova Scotia
, Canada
. The ruling Progressive Conservative Party, led by Premier John Hamm
, was reduced to a minority government
.
(NDP), led by Darrell Dexter
, and the Liberal Party
, led by Danny Graham.
Hamm's party ran on a policy of fiscal management, tax cut
s, and on their record of fulfilling most of their promises. While the NDP agreed in principle to tax cuts, their main cause was the creation of a public auto insurance company. The Liberals were the only party to criticize the tax cuts.
For the most part, the campaign was quiet and uneventful. Hamm received criticism for a great number of spending programs, including a $150 tax rebate cheque sent to Nova Scotians right before the election. The party was also criticized for holding an election in the summer when most people have other concerns. Darrell Dexter's friendly, non-confrontational style, was popular with many voters, and was a marked change from his party's usually strident socialism. Danny Graham, a young leader, was popular, but failed to make much of a mark.
The election was considered a mild failure for the Liberals and Conservatives, and something of a success for the NDP.
This election is also notable for being one of the last Canadian provincial elections in which British subject
s could vote (a tiny number can still vote provincially in Saskatchewan
if they were qualified in 1971).
