AB - Abstract This paper tries to demonstrate that the poor, contrary to what might be expected, are never the first joiners of new political movements, whether they be of the right or of the left. This is primarily documented with data from a survey on the rise of the Social Credit part in Quebec federal politics in 1962, but also by reference to other movements, such as the socialist C.C.F. party in Western Canada, the Poujadist movement in France, and Goldwaterism in the U.S.A. Using the Quebec data, an effort is also made to empirically account for such a pattern. We find that the poor negatively react to intensifying conditions and positively react to restraining conditions. This content is only available as a PDF.
