New Brunswick
New Brunswick has replaced its premiers slightly more often than most other provinces, and is on its thirtieth premier since Confederation. New Brunswick did not have a party system until 1931, and all premiers before that date officially ran as independents. Nevertheless, there were several premiers who unofficially named a party alligance, especially in the later part of this era. The longest serving premier in this era was Andrew G. Blair, who governed for thirteen years from 1883 to 1896. Since the introduction of the party system, premiership has alternated back and forth several times between the Progressive Conservative Party of New Brunswick and the New Brunswick Liberal Association. The longest serving premier during this period was Conservative Richard Bennett Hatfield, who governed for seventeen years from 1970 to 1987.
