More Information about the candidates and riding
Davenport was held by the Liberals from 1962 until 2011, when NDP Andrew Cash was elected. Davenport has always been a Liberal-NDP race. Aside from the NDP win in 2011, the NDP has consistently come second in Davenport, with the Conservatives a very distant third (in the range of 10-15%).
Both the NDP and Greens have a commitment to proportional representation in their campaign platforms.
On proportional representation, Andrew Cash spoke in favour twice in the House of Commons between 2011 and 2015, the first time to present a petition for PR, and the second time to reiterate the NDP’s position in favour of PR during a discussion of the “Fair Elections Act.”
