"Doubt it, it's a regional separitist party in Quebec that consists mainly of french-speaking liberal minded socialists."

IF you think Bloc is separatist you don't understand Quebec. They will never seperate because they would not be economically sustainable as a nation. They know that and the know how to play it.

30% of the vote in Canada gives you more clout than 100% of the vote in an independent Quebec.

Another example of why parliamentary democracies differ from the one in America.

Yours is more complex, and arguably more democratic. Yet it gives extraordinary power to fringe parties in close elections, which is arguably far less democratic.
