well, I assume you talked about the USonians, not the Americans, as Mexico and those below that border already have PR and multiparty systems well on their way.

Norte Americanos??

<That's exactly how we got stuck>

Single-seat-winner-takes-all-FPTP districts were stuck, already in the feudal 1600s when the landlord rode in to the council to decide what King to assassinate this time.

<Now nobody is really happy>

Old medieval two-party habit, especially considering the colonies. That Blair-Boy has once again pointed out that colonies should not fiddle around with constitutions, or at least the homeland should be manipulated.

My point was more on the facts that

- US will not be able to reform their perfectly finetuned two-party system for many generations
- UK is trying their best to do it
- Canada need to deal with, handle both

(similar to England having to deal with both Wales, Scotland, North Ireland, Ireland and Europe, the reason they have put an official ban on all public debate, after the inofficial)

That is, what is Canada doing in this dilemma??
