: Although
: having only two major parties has proven to be somewhat of a liability,
: recent elections have shown that third party movements CAN have a
: substantial impact on elections and on the platforms of the major parties.

Yes, with three major parties, majority governments (in Canada meaning absolute control at least until the next election) can and do form with as little as 32 or 33% of the popular vote. Add a few fringe parties, and watch the fun.

You are right though, leading up to the last federal election here, the government's activity was noticably influenced by the platforms of their competitors.

Well -- back to the garage.
