Election Insights: A Peek into the Voter Profiles of Canada and the US

On Monday, the Canadian election revealed some unexpected parallels between our voting patterns and those of our neighbors to the south. In an analysis by La Presse, it was found that Liberals and Democrats share certain traits, while Conservatives and Republicans exhibit similarities, though not to the same extent.

The Conservative Vote: Big Houses and Blue-Collar Workers

In an analysis of 343 ridings, the number of pieces in houses was the most correlated with the Conservative vote. The larger the house size in a riding, the more likely voters were to vote for the Conservative Party. There was also a relationship between the proportion of people who use a car to go to work and the Conservative vote.

The second variable that best explains the Conservative vote is the proportion of construction workers in a riding. On the other hand, ridings with a higher percentage of workers in the arts lean more towards the New Democratic Party.

Education: The Great Divide

Traditionally, race and ethnicity played a significant role in the U.S. election. However, it's now education that determines the vote, much like in Canada. The more university graduates in a riding, the more important the Liberal vote is. There's an inverse relationship between education and the Conservative vote, but the correlation is less strong.

Gender Politics

Like the U.S., gender played a role in Monday's Canadian election. The correlation between the percentage of women in a riding and the Liberal vote is strong. However, unlike the U.S., there's no definitive sign that a riding will vote Conservative based on the proportion of men.

Bloc Québécois: French Speakers and Catholic Roots

The strongest correlation calculated by La Presse was between the Bloc vote and the percentage of people who speak French at home. There were also strong correlations with the percentage of Catholics. However, the more people who use public transit to go to work, the less likely this riding is to vote Bloc.

Voting: An International Phenomenon

Voting behavior is influenced by a variety of factors, including education and occupation, as well as income level, regional economic conditions, and social identity. Despite similarities, differences in electoral systems and cultural contexts result in distinct voting patterns in both countries.

In the U.S., workers in the service sector might lean towards policies supporting social welfare, while those in management roles may favor more conservative economic policies. In Canada, workers in the arts tend to support more progressive policies, while construction workers may lean towards conservatism. However, offereing a more nuanced approach to social and economic issues sets apart Canadian political parties from their U.S. counterparts.

In terms of electoral systems, the U.S. operates under a presidential system with winner-takes-all elections in many states, while Canada uses a parliamentary system. Voter registration also varies between countries, with Canada adopting a more streamlined system compared to the U.S.
