Extract

From my perspective, two interesting questions arise from Stark's comment: first, a question concerning the usefulness or explanatory power of Lijphart's élite accommodation theory; and second, a question about the changing nature of infra-élite relations (specifically those occurring within the federal cabinet system) as distinct from inter-élite relations, primarily at the governmental level in Canada. Bailey's model becomes relevant in the discussion of the second question.
