Answer

The Social Credit Party, a center-right political party, was defeated in the 1971 provincial election in British Columbia, Canada, by the British Columbia Liberal Party led by Bill Bennett. This marked the end of the Social Credit Party's 20-year rule in the province. The election result was influenced by various factors, including the declining popularity of the Social Credit government and the appeal of Bennett's campaign promises.
