There’re several points to this article: first that it’s unhealthy to the Parliamentary system to put so much emphasis on the party leader, that this over-emphasis is a result of how they are chosen, second that politics is a lot more than just elections and progressive parties in particular have to work hard at things like public education and community organizing if they want to change the status quo, and finally that the Conservatives aren’t really “conservative” anymore because they’ve formed an unholy alliance with some pretty unsavoury types who are trying to undermine our political system through disinformation campaigns led by neo fascists.

Hi, this post is being reported.

Can you include a comment about the article, how it is relevant to the community to kick off some more discussion? I would do it myself, and I see that it relates to our election, but since you’re the author it would be better coming from you. Thank you!
