The Liberal government that decriminalized the possession of small quantities of marijuana was replaced by a Conservative
Question:
The Liberal government that decriminalized the possession of small quantities of marijuana was replaced by a Conservative government in the 2006 federal election. The new government considered scrapping the legislation, and in 2007 Angus Reid conducted a survey of 1028 adult Canadians and found that only 38% would support that move. However, pollsters also found that 59% of Conservative voters supported scrapping the legislation. Suppose the Conservative government wanted to adopt policies supported by more than 50% of its own voters. Should it have scrapped the legislation in 2007? Assume 40% of the people surveyed were Conservative voters.
