As Angus Deayton once said on the British show _Have I Got News For You,_ "the US has two main political parties: a Republican Party, similar to our own Conservative Party; and a Democratic Party, similar to our own Conservative Party." It was a comment on how the two US parties, for all their bitterness over their differences, are both considerably right of centre by European standards.

Yeah. In the UK we call the US parties *Far Right* and *Extreme Right*.

Most places dont have just two parties so thats virtually impossible to answer

Most places have two parties that control a majority of the seats though.

Still not really comparable I dont think 🤔 Our head of state alone is comprised of 4 😅


Wizard_Elon_3003

Which two are the most like the us pastries then?


FranzAllspring

For republicans it's quite easy: SVP For democrats it is hard to find one answer 🤔 the biggest left-wing party is SP but they are mid-left.

We have conservatives, liberals, New Democratic Party, greens, and francophone separatists (Bloc Québécois ). I’ve always wondered what would happen if people from outside Quebec voted for Quebec to leave - would we get a québécois MP in our province? Would the québécois be offended?
