Abstract

Coming just three years and a few months after one of New Brunswick's closest elections ever (2003), the 2006 election saw the Liberals and the PCs tiptoe through a campaign in which the smallest shift in votes would mean the difference between winning and losing. And this is precisely what happened: a very small shift of votes - some from the NDP, some because of riding reapportionment, gave the Liberals and their young leader Shawn Graham the victory, although the incumbent PCs under Bernard Lord received the most votes overall.
