Why do we only have two big political parties? With two main parties, both can claim a slight majority, and neither feels truly outnumbered. With three, everyone looks like they're outnumbered two-to-one.
Oddball’s new avatar is a fine, fine thing. Hey, look up at the headline banner! It’s now an ad for a wonderful gift book! I gave one to the happy couple at a baby shower the other day. I consider it a book full of fair warning… the perfect baby shower gift. Or Christmas. There are gifts then, right?
We have, up north, been known to have 3 or 4 ‘major’ parties and 3 or 4 “minor” parties. Having worked as “Deputy Returning Officer” (aka I’m the boss of a single poll) and an Area Manager (I’m in charge of 5-9 DRO’s) I’ve seen ballots with as few as 3 candidates, and as many as 7 candidates… and each ballot is manually counted at the end of the night.Some of our larger parties are…Liberal, Conservative, Democratic, (the big three), and Green (enviro), Rino, and Marijuana.Yes, the Marijuana Party.We do have Communist Party, and others … see below for a good listing of our parties.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Canada
Personally, since I saw the ballot for the number of parties that had someone running for president this year, I think the two party system should be outmoded. But then I would make sure I wouldn’t vote for someone like Roseanne Barr. Didn’t even know she was in the running along with the others that were listed. I guess anybody can throw their hat in the ring but don’t expect much if they aren’t really campaigning.
What we really need is a party that is honest, conservative, lives by the constitution, lives within it’s means, does as Jesus said, take care of the widows, orphans, and infirm, and other than that, if a man doesn’t work, he doesn’t eat.That’s His words.Stop regulating industry out of business. Quit giving money to countries that hate us, and use some common sense. Well I can dream, can’t I?

Yes, we must consider the feelings of the parties.
