I’m not arguing that the NDP didn’t do anything for Canada I’m a staunch supporter of them, but Canada has been barreling closer and closer to a two-party system and to cover your eyes and say it doesn’t exist because it’s inconvenient is insincere at best
Things can go either way. Canada can be moving away from the NDP; England is moving away from their 2 entrenched party. To cover your eyes and say FPTP makes things we literally have historical examples of impossible because it’s inconvenient is simply ignoring reality.
Yes FPTP does make it harder and we should end FPTP, but it is possible. Especially when both of the 2 major parties are refusing to address massively consequential issues such as healthcare and the military industrial complex.
Agreed, it’s intensely frustrating that we’ve found ourselves caught in a very American “lesser of two evils” system where the major parties don’t give a fuck about the average person. We have a lot of positive change happening at the provincial level. However, a handful of exceptions in the face of an avalanche of examples to the contrary. That said I don’t want to bully someone for hoping, if you think it doesn’t matter, go for it.
