Interesting fact: the US used to use the same color scheme for parties until 1980 when ABC's president at the time thought that it was too confusing because, and get this stupid idea, Republican started with R, Reagan started with R, and since Red started with R, people wouldn't understand why his states were blue. American television executives are idiots. BTW, I'm American.

@@iamaoi9946 Um, the 31st amendment thing was a pretty obvious joke.

@Ben McKean Look up the King-Byng affair of 1926; this was the last time a Governor General refused to approve a government formed by a party leader and thus deny royal assent.

Lol it was a convenient switch

I think it was that, coupled with the political realignment in the mid 20th century.

The Leftists being the "REDS", was just a little too....shall we say...on point.

Yeah up until about that point the RNC (freed the slaves) was the left and the DNC was the right. Notable examples are Strom Thurmond and Barry Goldwater. Both on the right and both originally democrats.

Barry Goldwater was never a Democrat, and the party switch was more of a gradual process from the 1930s to the 1960s. The real reason the colors switched was the advent of color TV.

Ya precisely I think people don’t understand that the greens are fundamentally an eco-populist party, and while having a lot of left wing policies they do tend to attract conservatives with an eco mindset.

Garry Marshall Campbell true I’m American and I like to keep up with UK politics and Canadians

Well us has 2 parties and a few 3rd parties that only manage to take votes away from the main parties For us if you vote 3rd party you may as well not vote So yeah I agree any other countries politics is more interesting

Yeah, it looks like this chart was purely economic, otherwise none of the parties could have been on the right.

@@EEYore-py1bf are you saying that neither conservatives or the PPC are socially liberal? The conservatives are kinda centrist socially but the PPC? Not a chance

@@truedarklander Kinda centrist? The CPC is openly left wing. The PPC is centrist because they're social libertarians.

@@tomasroma2333 While true, it gives you a much more complete picture of the views of people. Political Compass usually does Libertarian/Liberal vs Authoritarian, but generally doesnt really work for most systems. Conservative vs Progressive works quite well as you have some of the green parties usually being more progressive than socialist parties and far right parties being generally less economic right but more conservative.

Use jregs 100 dimensional political model

They are both Left Wing parties.The Green is SUPER Left. NDP just comes and go !

Glad to know that no one in Canada has ever done that very same thing themselves. 🙄

NATO blue and USSR was red. I think that was the origin. I dont now why the US has it different.

Hannes productions Yes, Red is associated with communism. The red scare was a period of fear of communism taking root in the US for example. However when TV was first broadcast in color, the 3 channels at the time each picked a red-blue color scheme for their election maps, resulting in red and blue being used for both parties depending on the channel. It just so happens the current colors were used by 2 of the channels and the other was used by the remaining channel. After 1 or 2 elections the third channel shifted to match the other 2 and here we are!

I think Green should just BE the left. Like, just make that entire half of the line green.

All the countries with the British monarch as their monarch passed similar laws at the same time.

It goes back to the French Parliment. Monarchists sat to the right, Radicals (for that time anyway, regular conservatives and centrists mostly today) sat to the left. Right is based in tradition, and the further right. Right wing ideologies include Liberalism (a bit left socially, a bit right economically) Conservatism, Fascism, Nazism (Nazi economic policy spawned the term privatisation), Monarchism. On the the left ideologies include Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Revolutionary Socialism, and the various theories of Communism and Anarchy (please never let anyone tell you Anarchism is right. Anarcho Capitalism is just feudalism with corporations).

@alexpetal really? Give me a proof

The NDP is actually the communist party in Canada, but they call themselves "socialists". I don't think the People's Party of Canada is far-right like what the guy in the video said, they're more centrist.

Thank you!!

It would be impossible to get every appropriate spectrum, though. even having 2 or 3 axes is too few since there are so many areas of policy that exist and interact with each other

@@scoobyrds yes, while that is true, at least 2 or 3 shows a lot more then just 1

Who would you put them closer to?

@@UsefulCharts Liberals. When NDP gets more votes, liberals get fewer. The brief period when NDP became the official opposition was when the liberals took a huge hit.

I think NDP should be equidistant from Liberals and Green. Preferably with Liberals in Center/Center-Left and Greens Further Left. How large the distance might be depends entirely on reference points and scale.

No, in 1763 New France was ceded to the British, the British in the rest of Canada had all the monarchs, the French did not.

The queen is dogshit

Long live the Queen. ❤

@Nicolas Chaput The Queen of England is just a figure Head.Napoleon dynasty is long gone. Vote Bloc and say no more to Trudeau.

@Nicolas Chaput I'm a French Canadian as well but I live in the United States. So my country's leader is the President of the United States of America. My family are apart of the many French Canadian families who had settled in the New England states of the United States as they were immigrating to the United States of America in the middle and late 19th century. Since both of my parents grew up is the state of Rhode Island the smallest state in the United States of America. Then my father enlisted into the United States Marine Corps at the age of 19 in 1979 and spent 23 years in the Marine Corps retiring as a Marine Corps Captain. My father's parents actually still lives in Rhode Island today. But my dad and my grandfather both were born in New Brunswick, Canada and were once Canadian citizens before becoming American citizens. My grandfather's family still lives in the province of New Brunswick in Canada today since his oldest sister and oldest brother lived all of their lives in New Brunswick, Canada when he and some other of his siblings settled in the United States between the states of Maine and Rhode Island. My dad lived in Maine until he was almost three years old when he moved to Rhode Island permanently until he left Rhode Island for basic training for the Marine Corps in Parris Island, South Carolina. But because of my father's career in the US military I had to grow up moving from one place to another by being born in Japan. Since my father was stationed in Japan around the time I was born. Japan was the only foreign nation outside of the United States where I lived and been to other than the United States of America itself. Since we left Japan the military kept us stateside for the rest of my life since I was almost three years old myself. So I've lived in four US states and have been to half of this entire nation with only 19 states of the 50 states of the United States of America that I have not been to as of yet. So I'm very close to being able to have visited most of the entire nation of the United States during my travels throughout this nation I live at today. But sometime in the future I would love to revisit the states I've already been to as a child and to visit those 19 states within the US that I hadn't been to yet. All so one day I could say that I have visited all 50 states of the United States of America. I'd also like to visit Canada as well because I'm pretty sure I do still have distant cousins in Quebec and other parts of Canada as well since all of my roots come from Canada itself.

@@tobeapirate Parti Québécois was there before Bloc Québécois. Bloc is a "federal" version of Parti Québécois

@@tobeapirate The Parti Quebecois has been around in its current form for a very long time. The two referenda on Quebec seceding from the confederation were instituted by the PQ, and it nearly happened again the last time the PQ was in power in the province a few years ago.

@Nicolas Chaput I'm referring to Pauline Marois.

Willie Davis Thats not what a minority government is. In order for a minority parties to be in power, you need to have more then 2 parties elected so that way no party has overall control. It does not refer to a minority of people voting for a government, thats quite an in incredibly common occurrence here in the Uk for example but we normally have a majority government.

Nah the NDP are definitely further left than the Greens and the Liberals are centre to centre-right. I suggest you read the analysis by Political Compass to gain a better understanding of the meaning of the political spectrum and where the parties stand.

TheLaneSplitter MC and average republicans are centre right/almost far right lol while democrats are centre/slightly right.

@@Derperfier what is "right" is subjective and is an arbitrary line of belief that is or isn't part of it. I would definitely consider the Republicans as centre-right, and the Democrats as definitely left. Just read what's actually in Alexandria Ocaso Cortez's Green New Deal and you'll se what I mean. Beto wants to take all American's AR-15s away and we don't even have that here in Canada. The PPC themselves are even more left of Republicans actually because they don't have a platform that wants to privatize healthcare, permitless carry of guns, and classifying abortion as murder.

@R B J identify your country you internet coward

@@ponraul1221 I think some of the confusion comes from the fact that America's Democratic Party isn't ideologically cohesive. Sure, AOC herself is Left, but Joe Manchin, who is also an elected Congressional Democrat, holds even more power and votes in line with Republicans more than Democrats (and Beto is literally just a guy, he holds no political power right now, and is highly unlikely to represent the Party in any capacity going forward). The Republicans have a bit stronger message discipline, but even there, there's still an ideological range. I don't know how that compares to Canada, but arguing about the placement of American political parties on an ideological map just isn't super useful. Individual politicians, sure, but the parties as a whole- especially the Dems- are pretty ideologically incoherent

Nah Elizabeth may used to be a conservative, her party and her position is still a bit more to the right then the NDP.

@@jnonya7743 but petty differences compares to LibCons. GreeNDP would have a voice. Apart, they don't.

The maximum allowable time is 5 yrs, however it can be extended during time of war or insurrection. However a more recent law fixes election dates to the third Monday in October every 4 years. The prime minister has the power to call an election sooner, or parliament can vote to dissolve parliament for another election, both those incidents usually happen during minority governments.
