That is why we in Canada have 3 main parties, a strong Right, a strong Left and a medium one, although the far left doesn't seem to get many of the votes. They have lots of 'great' ideas, but they are always expensive to implement and most people figure they will either not manage to get those things done or they will be paid for with higher taxes which may drive uber wealthy people and some businesses out of the country. It tends to make that middle party more popular who, although named as the Liberal party, usually aren't TOO Liberal. That's the party that is currently in power here and was Trudeau's party for the past 10 years. What often works out best (IMHO) is when (frequently) we get a party in power who didn't have a majority (50%+) so they need help to vote most things through, which you don't get without giving someone something in return. That swings the policies a little more one way or the other than they would maybe prefer, but not radically so. Since the extra votes often come from the far Left party, they agree to vote with you if they can get a few things going through that often help out low income people and seniors, moderately good dental covereage being the last big one that came from one of those deals. --- * SLMR Rob * So you're a feminist...Isn't that cute! * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (618:250/1) |
