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.
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.
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.
Canada and Briton have parliamentary democracy. In the USA you have a republican democracy. They are different.
The ideology is progressive corportism and it is present in every “western” country.
I’d say the passage of Articles 11 and 13 make it pretty obvious if it wasn’t before...
Look at the recent Swedish election. The Swedish Democrats (anti-immigrants) won 20% of the vote, with the rest being split evenly between the “right” and the “left”. The “right” coalition could rule if they allowed the SD into their coalition, but the “moderates” refuse to allow it. So the “left” coalition looks like they will form a minority government. Something similar happened in Slovenia last year.
What defines a “UniParty”, is the determination that outsiders can never be allowed to get any power, even if it means that your theoretical “opponents” rule.
The ruling parties in a “uniparty state” maintain the pretense of diversity of opinion, only up to the point of allowing real change.
Corbyn is a PLO member.
Uniparty?
Dows that mean ‘statism’?
