Québécois general election of 1931

The Québécois general election of 1931 is held the August 24th 1931 in order to elect the Député S of the 18th legislature with the legislative Assemblée of the province of the Quebec (Canada). It is about the 18th general election since the Canadian Confédération of 1867. The outgoing government of the Liberal party of Quebec, directed by the Prime Minister Louis-Alexandre Taschereau, is deferred to the capacity, forming a majority Gouvernement and demolishing the Conservative party of Quebec, directed by Camillien Houde. It is the third consecutive majority electoral victory for Taschereau, in station since 1920. The Liberal party, as for him, is with the capacity since the election of 1897.

Context

July 10th, 1929, Camillien Houde, mayor of Montreal, is elected chief of the Conservative party at the time of a congress of nomination. It is about the first congress to the cheffery for a provincial party of Quebec.

Houde does not manage to demolish the government, and the liberal reign continues. Camillien Houde is beaten in the two districts in which it was presented. It is Charles Ernest Gault which will direct the conservative opposition, on a purely temporary basis.
