@msquebanh I don't doubt that your reasons are very valid. There are definitely many things that I would prefer in a political party and there are also very many things that I wish the party in my native country (the U.S.) would change about itself. However, generally speaking, I'm a Minnesota Democrat with progressive leanings and there are not any parties (in the U.S., Canada, or elsewhere) that exactly encapsulate what I would prefer in a political system of government.
