      Sure. It does seem political parties target/emphasise division which can be constructive if people believe in the system but it seems both sides have lost faith in that and we start seeing politics as a zero-sum game rather than something that brings us together – it used to do that.

      Not everyone, but most people are done with centrism. Us and most other democratic nations have had centrism be the dominant political force of the last 40 years and it has completely and totally failed us. We cannot solve the numerous problems and crises our societies face by only being willing to work around the edges and not strongly believing in anything.

    3. The one major take away is that there’s a pretty significant group of voters that are fiscally progressive and culturally conservative but don’t really have a party to represent them. Would be nice to have a true red Tory party or something similar to represent this voting bloc

      While the fiscally conservative and socially liberal voting base are basically nonexistent.

      I mean, it’s probably the Liberals? They take stuff from the Conservatives, they take stuff from the New Democrats. If anyone is close to the centre it’s them.

      If you go on twitter these days, though, they’ll tell you the Liberals are staunch Marxists. Really makes you think.

      Stop the sensationalism. Both mainstream parties are far from being extremists. Canadian political issues are mainly economic and regulatory. Conservatives barely touch social issues. Liberals aren’t communists. Both parties are spectacles but rarely fulfill significant change in our day to day lives.
