Though she was Canada's first female Prime Minister she was never elected to the office, and her reign was unpopular. Campbell was even more moderate than Brian Mulroney, and many conservatives saw her rise as proof that the Progressive Conservative Party was moving further and further to the left.

Campbell called an election in 1993, which saw her party go down to massive defeat. A key reason was that many conservative voters left the PC party and voted for the further right [[Reform Party of Canada]], and their candidate for Prime Minister, [[Preston Manning]]. Though the [[Liberal Party of Canada]] was ultimately elected to power, Reform won 52 seats while the PC party declined to only two.
