La classification standard de la position de classe des partis politiques canadiens a étéétabli par Robert Alford dans son très important ouvrage, Party and Society. La classification d'Alford est reexaminée en utilisant six mesures distinctes. Cinq des six sont en désaccord avec Alford. Les Libéraux sont souvent vus comme relativement conservateurs alors que quatre mesures placent le Crédit Social comme plus libéral que les deux partis principaux. Cette analyse est suivie d'une discussion de la mensuration de la position de classe d'un parti et d'un essai d'explication du cas du Canada. On suggère qu'un modèle à deux dimensions soit utilisé pour la classification des partis politiques.

Discussion of measurement of party class positions and an attempt at explanation of the Canadian case follows. It is suggested that a bidimensional framework be used to classify political parties
