What happened in the previous federal election had an element of "not them" in it for sure. That's what Canada's "new government" is all about. However, there was also a very effective communications effort made by the Conservative Party to notify and educate Canadians on genuine conservative policies and ideas.
Partisan politics will always, unfortunately, have it's place in elections. Real democracy takes place in the exchange of ideas. It has happened before, it just happened in France, and it can happen again. It just takes both sides to cooperate.
