Ruff also said the Socreds “gtalemated the NDP”, by Amitating its’ famous’ grassroots, doorstep : organization. . “And when you have candidates from both sides phoning "you, and’ party workers knocking on your - door two or threetimes during a campaign, you're more likely to go out and vote.” Johnston rejected suggestions that the ré-election - of the private-énterprise Socreds with an increased majority: could be seenas. a, continuation, of what. Western democracies. * ; While ihe government increased ‘its number of Seats, its share of the popular vote increased less than . two percentage points to 49.7. The left-leaning New. Democrats dropped less than one percentage point to 44.9. . Johnston gald the changes are o insigniicant, noting that much of the Social Credit increase was probably — garnered from the right-wing Conservatives, who ran - only 12 candidates, compared with 37 in 1970. .- * Johnston, who had forecast the NDP would take 30 seats or more, said that, prediction fell {iat primarily. because he didn’t believe that enough voters would vacept the Socred view : -that ‘the NDP polley ‘of: “resource intervention’? would seriously damage the provincial economy as it was attempting io pull out of » the recession. “I believe the people felt that there’ Ba necessary condition for the election of an NDP. government and .. that's that there be good. times when. a government. _can ‘afford to gamble.” Raft sald any. perceived swing to the right is more “likely a reflection of. the business community’s ‘inerensed interest In “how the.
