DING DING DING!!

Regional parties WORK for Canada. Overbearing "Federal" parties do not work very well.

Just look at how effective the Bloc have been. Now imagine a parliament full of parties representing specific regions and/or specific issues and we have a functioning party system government. I will cry tears of joy if this ever comes to pass.

Complexity is something to hope for in a political system. Simplistic power mongering (Conservatives/Liberals) is not.
