same old same.....politics these days no matter where they are, will be exactly the same. IE two main parties fighting it out...withvery little scope for really significant movements ie Old Labour and Tory in the old days could enforce real changes which just are not possible anymore, the middle ground is what wins elections now, parties have recognised this and have moulded there policies to fit is the sad truth of it!

No doubt about that. We have 4 major parties here, with a 5th on the rise. At times one of them has had the stated goal of breaking up the country (well, putting it to a referendum) and it only represents the wishes of one province.
In reality though, only 2 of the parties have a real chance at getting elected, and one of the (the Liberals) hold office the vast majority of the time.
