HEART
AND STROKE
FOUNDATION
OF ONTARIO
34 TOWNSMAN/APRIL-MAY 1991
From page 31
Canadians from all provinces with
common bonds and the birth of coali-
tion government similar to an "Italian
Parliament" composed of five parties,
none with enough seats to form even a
minority government.
Robert Jackson, a professor of politi-
cal science at Carleton University in
Ottawa, is one of the many who fear
the fall -out from this fragmentation.
Writing recently in the London Free
Press, Jackson discusses Italy, where
Prime Minister Giulio Andreotti is
about to fall after a record 20 months
in power - the 50th government in that
country since the Second World War.
Each has fallen after only 10 months,
in a passing marked with a parade of
scandals, political plots and high-
decibal rhetoric.
If Reform and Bloc Quebecois make
sufficient inroads to cause a multi-
party system with its ensuing turnover
in governments, Canadian politics
will be totally transformed. As has
happened in the past in Canada histo-
ry, the mainstream parties could steal
some of the populist parties' platform,
splinter them into competing factions
and absorb them. With a neighbour to
the south that has a two-party system,
that's not a bad idea. But don't look
for that to happen just yet.
(Jim Fitzgerald is the general manag-
er/editor of The Rural Voice magazine
in Goderich, a former executive assis-
tant to an Ontario Cabinet minister,
and a Liberal candidate in the last
Ontario election.)
