We FReepers complain about the Uniparty. Do other democracies have a uniparty or in the UK, e.g., do the the Tories and Labourites manage to avoid overlapping ideologies?

Well, that’s why the Reform Party (later the Canadian Alliance) in Canada was created in the late 1980s, because the old federal Progressive Conservative party under Brian Mulroney and Joe Clark seemed to talk a little Tory but acted a great deal Liberal.

Yes, the same money controls all of them. It’s international. Global, even.

Did you happen to see when David Cameron (a “liberal Conservative” in his own words) pushed same-sex “marriage” on the UK (except for Northern Ireland) five years ago?

PS. By “other democracies”, are you calling the USA a democracy instead of a republic?

Every other country thinks socialists are on the ‘right’ and communists are on the ‘left’. it bleeds over into america when you see in Charlottesville when a group of nazis (socialist) fought and killed antifa (communists). But the American Right is the Unique Republican party that freed the slaves and eat Liberty every day for breakfast and Republic for dinner.

I’ve never seen a clear delineation between socialist and communist. To me a socialist is just not quite as committed.

The Communist is happy to shoot you. The Socialist is happy that you got shoot but advocates against guns.

there is no difference, lol its all part of the ‘big lie’ about power at any cost. socialism is the originator, communism, naziism, maoism are the historical offshoots of this vile evil. anyone who studies history sees the trend. the real question is: what will socialism morph into next. “Democrat Socialism” in America is the latest iteration of this virus.

Of course there are but they have different names like Liberals or Conservatives in Canada or Christian Democrats and Social Democrats in Germany along with the Free Democrats.

In the UK the Uniparty is Conservative, Labor and Liberal Democrat. Now Corbyn the Labor leader is a bit off the reservation but his back bench is Uniparty all the way.

Some countries have two major parties that are the same,
the “Schmuck” and “Putz” parties.

Others have three “Schmuck”, “Putz” and “Schlong” all arguing fervently that they are different from each.

Don’t forget that in 1968 we replaced Lyndon Johnson with Dick Nixon.

In Germany, they sometimes don’t even pretend - they call it a ‘Grand Coalition’. They openly ran Germany 1928 - 1930 (the reaction of the voters was to turn to the Nazis as the only viable alternative).

The curtains came off again in 1966-69, 2005-2009, and 2013-present when the SPD and CDU joined up to maintain power against the people (they normally just swap out the top job). The CSU is just a puppet of the CDU, and their leaders get to tag along when the CDU has a turn.

good analysis, the point is that socialists get themselves elected into office and then squeeze the opposition out of governing, like what is happening in California. Hitler patiently waited out each election till he won. pretty simple.

The one thing I like about Canada is that their federal and provincial parties are separate entities.

Not sure how that REALLY works, but I like the idea of the states having political parties completely distinct from the federal.

Two things killed off the American Republic:

1) Direct election of Senators (Seventeenth Amendment - 1913 (hint - same year as the Federal Reserve).

2) Imposition of Universal Suffrage - starting with the 19th Amendment in 1920, and reaching fruition in 1964.

Canada and Briton have parliamentary democracy. In the USA you have a republican democracy. They are different.

There is one very odd thing ive noticed: The Communist Manifesto is completely unreadable. Millions of people around the world are enslaved to a philosophy which is unintelligible. has anyone here tried to read that screed? am i alone? am i alone in the whole world who thinks it was written by a grammatical madman?

I believe A19 hurt America the worst, with the emotion vote.

As for Uniparties elsewhere, I think there’s hard globalist money influence on all top gov groups and individuals, and party plays mostly to local and social issues.

Trump, God bless and protect him, is a nationalist thinking of America FIRST. An old school American. A patriot. And a lone eagle iamong turkeys n DC.

I’d say the passage of Articles 11 and 13 make it pretty obvious if it wasn’t before...
