Yeah, I found it an interesting point. Really, our system favours having more parties, not less. For example, an Albertan party that will form a coalition with other Conservative parties when appropriate, but which will also have the autonomy to break with such a coalition, should it turn unfavourable. Perhaps we, as voters and participators in democracy, would be better served by 10 regional parties. There would be the potential, for example, for an Albertan and Quebec party to join together for the purposes of passing legislation regarding provincial rights, for example, and then for the Albertan party to join with Saskatchewan and Newfoundland for the purposes of an energy policy.
