Politics

[SpartanChief17]

We've got a Green Party, New Democratic Party, Liberal Party, and Conservative Party in my riding. Conservative party's pretty far right but they don't have much popularity here, our BC Liberals are pretty right-wing and they get more of the votes. Our Liberals have had quite a few scandals in the past few years so I'm uncertain about them. NDP's left-wing, and the Green Party is exactly how it sounds. It pretty much boils down to NDP vs Liberal since the others don't have a chance. And well, I haven't done much research into their platforms because they only put up vague statements on their websites like "Making BC more affordable" and the documents they have specifying the details are a couple hundred of pages long... Sooo, yeah.

Where the heck are you even from? Canada? I haven't heard of any of these parties. :-/

At least it's not socialism. Like, y'know, public roads, schools, bridges, NASA, the military, medicare/medicaid....

how terrible

...the government slowly taking control of businesses, making itself a monopoly by claiming to eradicate it, not learning from past mistakes...

In a similar vein, I doubt anyone cares about British politics. I won't divulge any information regarding my inclination, however I will say that things are far from comfortable right now and I'm re-evaluating things rapidly. I don't wholly trust what either key party is saying and voting third party is too risky, to the distaste of many. Tuff tams, bubs.

I hear that your president is a self proclaimed 'nationalist and globalist' so you must be thrilled at your nation's stability too. I thought his campaign was largely based on the premise of nationalism so I'm a tad confuzzled.

alright okay well you (and insigturtle) would be right in saying that the majority of the forum's userbase is filthy 'muricans but if you take a defeatist attitude like this it literally only serves to strengthen the stereotype that americans are self-centered assholes who don't give a shit about foreign politics.

This is a politics thread and it should be everyone's politics not just american politics.

So tell me what's going on in British politics (and InsigTurtle: BC politics) if you want because we should totally take this opportunity to learn about foreign politics lol

^^Agreed 100%

His campaign was more based off of large sweeping promises in extreme directions and ego. If by "nationalism" you mean "America is the greatest country and we can do no wrong ever," then yeah, there was a lot of that too.
