    I’m not arguing that the NDP didn’t do anything for Canada I’m a staunch supporter of them, but Canada has been barreling closer and closer to a two-party system and to cover your eyes and say it doesn’t exist because it’s inconvenient is insincere at best

      Things can go either way. Canada can be moving away from the NDP; England is moving away from their 2 entrenched party. To cover your eyes and say FPTP makes things we literally have historical examples of impossible because it’s inconvenient is simply ignoring reality.

      Yes FPTP does make it harder and we should end FPTP, but it is possible. Especially when both of the 2 major parties are refusing to address massively consequential issues such as healthcare and the military industrial complex.
