Title Social Democracy - Illusion or Vision?
 
Creator Cohen, Marjorie Griffin
 
Subject

 
Description In the 1991 British Columbia provincial election campaign Mike Harcourt, the leader of the New Democratic Party, was frequently asked by the media whether he was a socialist. He always looked embarrassed and replied that he was a "social democrat." If pressed, as he was on occasion, to explain the difference he ducked the question by saying, "we aren't promising any miracles," This response seemed reassuring enough: no illusions were possible here because not much real change was being promised.
