As per List of Canadian minor party and independent politicians elected

Looking at 15%+ results, or otherwise newsworthy/notable, or beat a major party candidate in the placing, etc.; but not including those elected (they’re/they’d be in the above article), nor independents who performed well having only one major party candidate to run against

Saskatchewan

edit

Look through List of Saskatchewan provincial electoral districts; LEFT OFF at Bromhead

Notable parties (10%+; they’re excluded from being notable) plus one election after the last year listed i guess? (cause you’d still expect them to do well):

  • Conservative : 1912-1938
  • Co-operative Commonwealth : 1938-1964
  • Farmer-Labour : 1934
  • Liberal : 1905-1978; 1986-2003
  • New Democratic : 1967-present
  • Progressive : 1921-1929
  • Progressive Conservative : 1944-1948, 1960-1967, 1975-1995
  • Provincial Rights : 1905-1908
  • Saskatchewan : 1999-present
  • Social Credit : 1938, 1956-1960

Notes on the above

  • Note that many independents in 1921 were conservatives, when combined they are above 10%
  • Note that Progressives ran in too few ridings in 1921 to reach 10% but performed well enough in those ridings to be a notable party
  • Note that the Progressives were still a force in 1929
  • Note that PCs ran in too few ridings in 1948 to reach 10% but performed well enough in those ridings to be a notable party
