Manitoba Liberal Party
The Manitoba Liberal Party (french: Parti libéral du Manitoba) is a political party in Manitoba, Canada. Its roots can be traced to the late 19th century, following the province's creation in 1870. Origins and early development (to 1883) Originally, there were no official political parties in Manitoba, although many leading politicians were affiliated with parties that existed at the national level. In Manitoba's first Legislative Assembly, the leader of the opposition was Edward Hay, a Liberal who represented the interests of recent anglophone immigrants from Ontario. Not a party leader as such, he was still a leading voice for the newly transplanted "Ontario Grit" tradition. In 1874, Hay served as Minister of Public Works in the government of Marc-Amable Girard, which included both Conservatives and Liberals. During the 1870s, a Liberal network began to emerge in the city of Winnipeg. One of the key figures in this network was William Luxton, owner of the Manitoba Free Pr ...

The 1903 Manitoba general election was held on July 20, 1903, to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada. The result was a second consecutive majority government for the Conservative Party of Manitoba, now led by Premier Rodmond Roblin. Roblin's electoral machine won a landslide thirty-two seats, while the opposition Manitoba Liberal Party under former premier Thomas Greenway won only eight. The Winnipeg Labour Party also contested two constituencies, winning none. Although the parties' relative seat counts gave the impression of a major victory for Conservatives, the candidates of that party actually received less than half the votes, and only 2000 more votes (just four percent) than the Liberals. Proportionally to votes cast, of the Legislature's 40 seats, 20 should have gone to the Conservatives, 18 to Liberals and two seats to Labour and other "third party" candidates.Proportional Representation Review, Dec. 1903 Results Constituen ...
