With these parties separated, the Liberals had a majority. With their collaboration, the conservatives run the country.<BR/><BR/>DLego Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824092626064425115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918873401982028218.post-45076127061797458422008-10-16T16:25:00.000-07:002008-10-16T16:25:00.000-07:00However, I am speaking about running federally as ...However, I am speaking about running federally as a party. I have no qualms about individuals running as independents, however parties that have representation in only one province should run for office provincially. Federally, a party should have representation in all provinces and territories. What it boils down to is, is that I don't like how our current system only allows you to vote for your local leader, and that same vote counts for the party federally. I would like to see it separated, so that you can vote for the local person /party, and separately vote for that leader /party, federally.Archaeomatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960870333727826295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918873401982028218.post-84877498554103923462008-10-16T15:25:00.000-07:002008-10-16T15:25:00.000-07:00But excluding parties like the bloc would also mea...But excluding parties like the bloc would also mean you're excluding fringe parties that are made up of only a few candidates or independents. They deserve a voice don't they? I kind of like the idea that if one day I got so pissed off with the government that I decided to run as an independent I would have the right to do so :)Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645196841267764545noreply@blogger.com
