Your solution on how to cover a topic in a neutral fashion when there are more than 2 political parties is to move to a country where there are more than 2 political parties?

That doesn't seem like a productive comment.


A Wikimedia based in a country with much less polarised politics will have a much easier time with neutrality.

I guess I didn't include enough elaboration in my comment...


There are only two parties in Canada. Three if you count the Bloc.


That’s a weird comment. Were you trying to be sarcastic?

There are 3 major federal parties (Liberals, Conservatives, NDP), who received 33%, 33%, and 18% of the popular vote respectively.

There are two minor federal parties (Greens and the People’s party) who together took around 7% of the popular vote, and

Finally there is the Bloc Québécois. It is a federal party but it exists only in one province. It grabbed around 8% last time.

Of course those percentages aren’t entirely representative, because seats are won in a first-past-the-post style in each riding.


The NDP has never formed a federal government.
