called the NFL
One of the great rivalries of Canadian style football ( not all that different that American football a more offensive game Vs a more defensive American style of play )
um your a little confused there, you don't have a two party system in the US. you are pretty much the same as Canada as you also have Green Party, Libertarians, Constitution Party and Natural Law Party.. the difference is the results are pretty much split between two parties, and in Canada there are two main parties and a third that ebbs and flows over the years, but we are basically going to have a conservative or a Liberal government like you guys. The democrats and the repubs. the only difference in elections is we don't elect a president separately, the leader for the party that wins in Canada becomes the Priminister. I think what you are thinking of is a representation by popular vote. so each party will get the same percentage of seats as the percentage of popular vote they won
I am speaking as a practical manner, of course there is nothing limiting other parties from participating in an election in the US, of course the Libertarians always capture a small (but not necessarily meaningless) portion of the vote. We can talk about all the minutiae of third parties taking enough votes to swing an election to the opposition, but this does not result in seats for that party or them having any direct influence over the government that wins.
ya its pretty much the same in Canada, the majority is won by two parties and then there is usually a small third that can balance power in a minority government, and then a sprinkling of seats from minors. the main difference is we don't vote in the leader at election time, so that really confuses me and I am trying to learn the reasoning behind having a separate vote for a president, when you also have party votes. so you can have the winning party a different political opinion of the president where with ours the winning party leader becomes the Prime minister
thats fine...no need to announce... be like Nike... Just do it!
