Do voters abandon candidates accused of scandalous behaviour? Do government apologies affect prospects for re-election? While many people assume the answer to each of these questions is yes, there is limited empirical evidence to support these assumptions. In this book, Jason Roy and Christopher Alcantara use a series of experiments to test these and other commonly held beliefs. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eEach chapter draws upon contemporary events and literature to frame the issues and strategies. The findings suggest that not all of the assumptions that people have about the best strategies for winning and keeping political power hold up to empirical scrutiny. In fact, some work in ways that many readers may find surprising. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginal and innovative in its use of experimental methods, \u003ci\u003eWinning\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eand Keeping Power in Canadian Politics \u003c\/i\u003eis a persuasive analysis of some of our most prominent and long-standing political myths.
