>The USA is many times referenced as the greatest democracy in the world, but can you call it really a democracy when in the end the citizens have only 2 choices? If both parties support something that you don't approve, what other choice do you have?

>We're not much better here. We see many candidates from different parties on our polling ticket, but only the 2 same parties have a real chance to get the power. We can't even vote separatly (like the US) for the prime minister as (s)he come with the party.

Not only that, The Canadian Senate has little power and it's members are appointed by the government in power, which I find to be quite disgusting. We should have the right to elect Senators and the Senate should have the power to cram any bill up Parliament's sphinctor or approve it.

And of course, neither of our countries really have democracies. We just elect party members who do what the party decides to do and we have to pay for whatever that happens to be.
