4 Social Studies Chapter 6 Provincial Government Samil is following the campaign for the upcoming provincial election. Samil notices that the campaigns for the provincial election candidates that represent political parties are much more elaborate than those who are running as independent candidates. Some provincial candidates have very professional looking signs and brochures, host 'Meet the candidate' BBQ's and travel extensively around their constituency during their campaigns. The independent candidates just don't seem to have the same resources. Samil wonders why this disparity exists. 1. A grade 6 Social Studies student can explain to Samil that: A) Candidates representing a political party have some of their campaign costs supported by political party donations. B) Independent candidates have little chance of winning a constituency so they choose not to waste money on campaign items. C) Independent candidates usually run with campaign platforms focused on reforming the government and therefore make a point of not running showy campaigns like the other candidates. D) Members of the Legislative Assembly are paid only a modest salary on which they could not repay the costs of an elaborate campaign.
