I cannot express enough how much this works for the Liberals. Trump continuing to rattle his sabre at us through the Liberal leadership campaign and inevitable general election is basically a gift to Trudeau, his successor, and his party.
If Trump wants to keep bloviating until PP's electoral chances are dead and gone, I don't think JT's going to do anything to get in his way.
Can't y'all get a thrid party?
Why da FAQ every regime got turned into the clown ass two party system even in countries that don't have use american clown system
We have one. Actually, we have more than one if you want to get technical. What we need is a viable third party that knows what they're doing and won't capitulate at the first sign of inconvenience while continuing to lie to constituents about their real goals and the current political situation. Also, the so-called progressive NDP needs to stop kicking people out for taking a stance against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians (yes, that happened; look up Sarah Jama's unceremonious ousting, among others).
Nothing will change without electoral reform that does away with first-past-the-post (FPTP). I personally like single transferable vote (STV) or mixed member proportional (MMPR) voting systems, but even a ranked ballot would be better than what we have now.
It's important to separate the provincial NDP from the federal NDP. They each have their faults, but they're different faults, and we shouldn't blame the provincial parties for things Singh has done, and we shouldn't blame Singh for things provincial NDP parties have done.
I mean, they're the same party. Literally. They have different entities within them focused on different geographical regions, but your provincial and federal NDP memberships are one and the same thing.
While I don't disagree, the ONDP and the federal NDP are a lot closer in ideology IMO than, say, the BCNDP and the federal NDP.
Since I live in Ontario and there's an election coming up provincially as well as federally, their constant failures are at the forefront of my mind and I think the provincial strategy is relevant to mention here since it ultimately shares a lot in common with the federal one. The federal NDP has been shockingly silent on Palestine for many years, well predating the most recent stage of the conflict.
All of this is just my opinion, though. If you want to keep them separate that's your business.
