Talk:Third party (Canada)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] cleanup
I've tried to clean up the third party stuff here, but it was very bent towards the viewpoint of someone from a two-party state. Multi-party politics and coalition governments mean that the term "third party" loses meaning if there are three parties that could have enough seats to form the larger partner in sucha coalition (ie. BQ, Reform and Liberals, even if the BQ would never form a government), you would then be talking about "fourth party"... This is especially relevant in the western provinces, where Libs, PCs and NDP all are in positions to take power, and you literally mean "fourth party" when you talk about small parties. 132.205.94.118 22:40, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
