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.
