Elecciones de liderazgo del Partido Conservador de Canadá de 2017

El Partido Conservador de Canadá celebró una elección de liderazgo el 27 de mayo de 2017. La elección de liderazgo fue motivada por la renuncia de Stephen Harper , quien había liderado el Partido Conservador de Canadá como su líder desde 2004, después de la derrota del partido en las elecciones de 2015 .

Trece candidatos participaron en la contienda: Chris Alexander , Maxime Bernier , Steven Blaney , Michael Chong , Kellie Leitch , Pierre Lemieux , Deepak Obhrai , Erin O'Toole , Rick Peterson , Lisa Raitt , Andrew Saxton , Andrew Scheer y Brad Trost . Además, otros cuatro candidatos se retiraron, entre ellos Kevin O'Leary , que permaneció en la boleta final.

La votación se realizó mediante una papeleta clasificada ; sin embargo, los votos se calcularon de modo que cada distrito electoral tuviera el mismo peso y a cada distrito electoral se le asignaron 100 puntos. [3] 259.010 miembros del partido fueron elegibles para votar en la contienda por el liderazgo. [4] 141.000 miembros emitieron su voto.

Andrew Scheer fue elegido líder en las trece elecciones, derrotando por un estrecho margen al segundo clasificado, Maxime Bernier. Muchos consideraron la victoria de Scheer como una sorpresa , dada la constante condición de Bernier como favorito en las encuestas. [5]

Historia

Fondo

Stephen Harper , quien dirigió el Partido Conservador de Canadá como su líder desde 2004 tras la fusión de los partidos Alianza Canadiense y Conservador Progresista . Harper dirigió el partido a través de cinco elecciones federales: el partido aumentó su recuento de escaños en la Cámara de los Comunes en 2004 , formó dos gobiernos minoritarios en 2006 y 2008 , y luego un gobierno mayoritario en 2011. Tras la derrota del partido en las elecciones federales de 2015 el 19 de octubre, Harper presentó su renuncia como líder del partido. [6] En una declaración, el presidente del Partido Conservador, John Walsh, dijo que había hablado con Harper, "y me ha dado instrucciones de ponerme en contacto con el grupo parlamentario recién elegido para nombrar un líder interino e implementar el proceso de selección de liderazgo". [6]

Liderazgo interino

La carta del presidente del Partido Conservador, John Walsh , al grupo parlamentario establecía que solo los miembros del Parlamento votarían por el líder interino, pero los senadores conservadores señalaron que la constitución del partido establece que todo el grupo parlamentario vota. [7] [8] El grupo parlamentario permitió que los senadores votaran, negándose a adoptar las disposiciones de la Ley de Reforma que solo habrían permitido votar a los parlamentarios. [9] [10]

El caucus eligió a Rona Ambrose , diputada por Sturgeon River—Parkland , Alberta y exministra de Salud , como líder interina en su primera reunión el 5 de noviembre de 2015, en una votación por papeleta preferencial . [11] [12] [13] Ambrose, como líder interina, también sirvió como líder de la oposición oficial en el Parlamento de Canadá hasta que se eligió un líder permanente. Derrotó a Candice Bergen , Diane Finley , Mike Lake , Rob Nicholson , Erin O'Toole y la candidatura conjunta de Denis Lebel y Michelle Rempel en la votación del caucus. [14] [15] [16] [13] [17]

Según la constitución del partido, Ambrose, como líder interino, no podía postularse para el puesto permanente. [15]

Momento de la elección de líderes

Tras la dimisión de Harper, surgió un debate en el Partido Conservador sobre el momento de la elección de dirigentes. Algunos miembros del consejo nacional del partido pidieron una convención de dirigentes ya en mayo de 2016, según la revista Maclean's . [18] Sin embargo, la líder interina Rona Ambrose dijo que había un consenso entre el grupo parlamentario del partido de que la elección de dirigentes no debería ser apresurada y debería celebrarse en algún momento de 2017. [19] [20] [21] En una entrevista de diciembre de 2015, Ambrose dijo que el partido se tomaría su tiempo para permitir que todos los miembros, incluidos aquellos que no están ya involucrados en la política, construyan una candidatura sólida. "Si nos tomamos un poco más de tiempo, eso significará que tendremos una mejor carrera por el liderazgo". [22]

El Comité Organizador de la Elección de Líderes del Partido Conservador (LEOC) se reunió en el Albany Club de Toronto del 15 al 17 de enero de 2016 para analizar el proceso que seguiría el Partido para elegir a su próximo líder. Entre sus decisiones, el LEOC eligió el 27 de mayo de 2017 para que los miembros del Partido Conservador eligieran a su próximo líder. [23]

Secuelas

Después de la elección, el candidato que quedó en cuarto lugar, Brad Trost , y su campaña fueron multados con $50,000 por el Partido Conservador de Canadá por supuestamente filtrar la lista de miembros del partido a la Asociación Nacional de Armas de Fuego . Trost negó que él o alguno de sus empleados filtraran la lista. [24] El 11 de febrero de 2019, el Partido Conservador publicó una declaración de su Comité Organizador de Elecciones de Liderazgo (LEOC) que concluía: "En resumen, LEOC no cree que haya evidencia de que la Campaña de Trost fuera responsable de filtrar la lista de miembros..." [25] Por lo tanto, la multa fue eliminada de la Campaña de Brad Trost. Trost perdió la nominación como candidato del partido para su distrito durante la 43.ª elección federal el 10 de marzo de 2018, ante Corey Tochor , expresidente de la Legislatura de Saskatchewan . [26]

Se han suscitado críticas sobre la forma en que se gestionaron las afiliaciones al partido, y algunos miembros destacados afirman que nunca recibieron una papeleta, incluso después de ponerse en contacto con el partido al respecto. [27]

Además, el resultado de la carrera por el liderazgo y el manejo del partido fue cuestionado por algunos partidarios como el segundo lugar Maxime Bernier y la candidata al quinto lugar Kellie Leitch debido a discrepancias en el recuento final de votos, específicamente una brecha entre el número de votos emitidos y el resultado anunciado - una discrepancia de 7.466 votos, que es mayor que el margen de victoria de 7.049 votos de Andrew Scheer en la ronda final. Hubo críticas sobre el papel exacto de la firma de contabilidad Deloitte durante el proceso de votación - un acuerdo reveló que Deloitte no estaba específicamente encargada de auditar la votación sino de "observar" el proceso de recuento. [28] [29] También se informó que algunos de los partidarios de Brad Trost contravinieron la Ley de Elecciones y las reglas de membresía del partido al ofrecer incentivos para votar. Dimitri Soudas , un ex asistente de Stephen Harper , señaló que violó las reglas electorales y benefició a la campaña de Scheer, pero las papeletas fueron destruidas, por lo que los resultados se mantuvieron. [30]

Reglas y sistema de votación

Solo los miembros del partido que estuvieran al día en sus pagos a las 5:00 p. m., hora del este, el 28 de marzo de 2017, pudieron votar. [2] [31] La tarifa para la membresía del partido aumentó de $15 a $25, un aumento que se revirtió el 23 de abril de 2016, después de críticas de que la medida era "elitista". [32] Las tarifas de membresía solo se podían pagar con cheque personal o tarjeta de crédito. No se permitían los pagos en efectivo. Este nuevo requisito tenía como objetivo evitar que la elección estuviera dominada por nuevos miembros y evitar que cualquier persona que no fuera el miembro individual, como la campaña de un candidato, inscribiera a decenas de miembros y pagara las tarifas de membresía en efectivo con fondos de campaña. [33] A pesar de esto, el Partido Conservador confirmó irregularidades con 1.351 membresías relacionadas con tarjetas de crédito prepagas que posteriormente eliminó de su lista de miembros. [34]

La votación se realizó sobre la base de un voto por miembro , utilizando una papeleta clasificada ; sin embargo, los votos se calcularon de manera que cada distrito electoral tuviera el mismo peso y a cada uno se le asignaron 100 puntos. [3] A los candidatos se les asignó un total de puntos basado en su porcentaje de votos en cada distrito electoral. Para ganar, un candidato debe recibir al menos 16.901 puntos, lo que constituiría una mayoría. [2] [35]

Para inscribirse, los candidatos deberán: [2]

Un comité del partido revisó el formulario de nominación del candidato y puede descalificar a un candidato potencial. [38] A los candidatos se les permite gastar un máximo de $5 millones en sus campañas. [39]

Resumen provincial

Análisis

Según las cifras de votación bruta, Scheer recibió 62.593 votos en la votación final, en comparación con los 55.544 votos de Bernier, y 23.000 votantes que habían votado en la primera ronda no clasificaron ni a Scheer ni a Bernier en su votación clasificada. Los votos se repartieron entre los distritos electorales de modo que a cada uno se le asignaron 100 puntos, independientemente del número de votantes, lo que dio como resultado 17.222,20 puntos (50,95%) para Scheer y 16.577,80 puntos (49,05%) para Bernier.
