matvail2002 803 Posted September 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2009 Nice. I'll enjoy hearing how these parties were evolved or created.

Treasurer 28 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Bit of a first i think, a 2-party system non-US scenario. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matvail2002 803 Posted September 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 No, there are four parties in the 2009 scenario, all of them which are strong in their respective region. In fact, it is VERY diificult to have a majority for one party. Alliance SDP Party of Regions Green Party 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Democrat 9 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Wait, so will Social Credit be in power for 45 years straight? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zagatstein 2 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Wait, so will Social Credit be in power for 45 years straight? It's kind of conceivable--weren't the Liberals in power in Canada for a long stretch of time in the middle of the 20th century? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Democrat 9 Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Actually I want that, makes it more interesting for a liberal like myself. No, the Liberals had separate twenty year reigns of Power. This would be more like Japan, with the conservative party being in power for six decades straight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matvail2002 803 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 It's kind of conceivable--weren't the Liberals in power in Canada for a long stretch of time in the middle of the 20th century? For the federal parliament, the Liberals were in power from long periods of time due to the lack of a strong opposition or a divided opposition. And yes, it's possible to be in power for a very long time in provincial politics in Canada: In Alberta, ALL of the governing parties were only in power during one era, only to return in the wilderness after that. Basically, Alberta is a dominant party state, so the opposition don't have many seats. 1905-1921 Alberta Liberal Party 1921-1935 United Farmers of Alberta 1935-1971 Social Credit Party of Alberta 1971-present Alberta Progressive Conservatives In British Columbia, the Social Credit Party was in power from 1952 to 1972 and from 1975 to 1991. Ironically, many of the former members of the Social Credit Party now are with the BC Liberals. In Ontario, the Progressive Conservatives were in power nonstop from 1943 to 1985. In Québec, the Liberals were in power nonstop from 1897 to 1935. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
