RE: LE BLOC QUÉBÉCOIS DE
You know..for all its worth, i was reading some of the Bloc's platform..and i thought to myself, maybe its an advantage to promote provincially, regionally based parties.
Alot of changes occured in response to the Reform Party, which is about to be demolished under this unified party. Regional based parties understand best in relation to the region it represents, so are more willing to go out on a limb to promote ideas of said country.
National parties have a tendancy to want to appease all provinces, which will never happen. And what inevitably ends up happening is that you get policies that are good for one area, particularly areas that are strong backers of said power in charge, at the expense of other regions.
Maybe seperation would be avoided if instead of electing parties based on a federal platform, we elect parties on a regional platform.
