Jim Walding
Derek James "Jim" Walding (May 9, 1937 – April 23, 2007) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He was a member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1971 to 1988, and served as speaker of the assembly from 1982 to 1986. Walding was a member of the New Democratic Party (NDP). In 1988, he brought down the NDP government of Howard Pawley by voting against his party's budget. This was the first time in Canadian history that a majority government was defeated by a vote of one of its own party members. There have been rumors, following his resignation and move to British Columbia, that Jim Walding accepted a bribe in exchange for his vote from the Progressive Conservatives. This, however has not be substantiated.
==Early life and career==
Walding was born at Rushden, Northamptonshire, England and was educated at Wellingborough Grammar School. He spent three years with the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, including a stint in West Berlin. He moved to Canada in 1961, and worked in Winnipeg as a dispensing optician and contact lens fitter.〔Ian Stewart, ''Just One Vote: Jim Walding's nomination to constitutional defeat'', (Winnipeg: University of Manitoba Press), 2009, p. 27.〕
Walding supported the Labour Party in Britain, and joined the New Democratic Party of Canada in 1963. He served on the party's provincial executive in the 1960s.〔Stewart, p. 27.〕
