Stephen Harper was the first Prime Minister of Canada to come from the Conservative Party, and served the country for nine years. In October 2015, Harper called an early election because he believed it would give the Conservatives the added advantage they needed to win. Harper’s incentive for calling an early election was mainly to procure more funds for his election campaign, which, considering his past wins, made him believe that the same degree of support will be continued into this election as well. This essay will argue how the institutional constraints such as the first-past-the-post electoral system adopted by Canada and facets of the parliamentary system benefitted Harper’s campaign, while the structural constraints such as the financial budget for the election campaign and the demographics of the voters resulted in his loss to the Liberal Party.

Source A could be considered to have great value to a historian studying the impact of Margaret Thatcher’s Social and Economic policies, as it comes from a speech that Margaret Thatcher made herself 5 years into her premiership. This lends the source some value, as it comes from Thatcher’s own point of view, and therefore could be considered to be very valuable to a historian studying the impact of Thatcher’s policies as no one would know more about how she arrived at her decisions and what her intentions were than Thatcher herself. It could however be argued that the fact this source comes from Thatcher herself is in fact a detriment to its value, as she will be more likely to defend herself and her actions rather than speaking honestly about
