New Brunswick general election, 1857

The 1957 New Brunswick general election happened less than a year after the 1956 election. The new government of the colony had trouble passing bills because of its slim majority of one member. One of the government Member of Parliament had a tendency to abstain on most objects, resulting in ties and gridlocks. Eventually, the government lost a vote of confidence, and the colony had another election. The election resulted in a defeat for the government and a victory for the Liberal MPs. After the election, the Liberals MPs did not re-enact the prohibition law that caused their government to fall less than a year earlier.^[1]
