the Barrie Examiner Published by Canadian Newepapaia Limited 16 Baylield Street Barrie Ontario Walla Publisher 24 William Teller General Manager McPherson Managing Editor uoaoar FEBRUARY 1m PAGE g4iahlLJLuklgJiLhA LLd he Undecided Voters Are Largest Political Party According to the Gallup Poll of Carla da the Progressive Conservative party Is moving thward convention to decide its future leadership at time when the partys popular support is at tlte lowest ebb since the election of 1065 However the most significant item In the latest poll Is the fact that there seem to be more voters in Canada who are undecided as to political preference than the number who adhere to any one part tcttlar party The Liberals can claim 25 per cent of the voters cording to the poll the Na tional De tic Party 10 or coat the Progressit inscrvalives per cent the Social Credit and other parties per cent The undecided are who ping 32 per cent of the eiectoratc ere ore ac cording to the poll the undecided Is Canadas largest political party Compared with the poll taken in No vember of 1066 the Liberals have re mained constant the NDP Itas gained two percentage points the Progressive Conservatives have dropped one per cenlage point the splinter parties have remained constant and the undecided were reduced by one percentage point Apparently the poll did not attempt to gauge what even those slight ehaitges Signin by asking why those who had changed loyalties would rather switch than light comparison of the latest survey was made to the 1065 election with the undo cided the largest grou removed It showed that the Lt erals had drop ed three percentage points from 40 to per cent the Progressive Conserva tives from 33 to 25 per cent whlle the NDP had risen from 18 to 28 per cent and the splinter parties from to 10 per cent However this presents picture that Is for from cotnplete For instance what was the percentage of undecided in the November election of 1065 We cant tell from comparison which eliminates that factor To illustrate our point the NDP com mands according to the poll 20 per cent of the decided but only 10 per cent when the undecided are added to the mix It would seem that as the Progressive Conservatives near their convention in September they land all parties for that matter should be concerned to know why onethird of the Canadian voters say they cant make it their minds as to which arty tvoul best represent them and tteir nation Whatever the reason the undecided should be very great concern to all of those who wish to govern the Caned

were taken Into the recep tion room one at time by lord Carnarvon the colonial secretory and they each had brief cltnt with the Queen Then she sold few dignified words approving the BNA Act and John
