Indeed, that does seem to be our difference of opinion. I think both are correct though. Only two parties are viable options of governing, however four are viable options for significant bases of support.
The problem, really, is that each party has it's own base, so it isn't like one or the other is disappearing anytime soon.
The Bloc is what has completely rearranged politics. I don't think there is any doubt that without the separatist party, we'd be in a comfortable Conservative majority. But since they don't really fit any one slot on the spectrum like the other three do, they kinda throw everything out of whack.
