For a continent that in every election policy shift towards right-wing nationalist and xenophobic, just like in the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century, responding to a North American continent, it seems, will confirm its May 2 turn left. After the election of Democrat Obama in the White House U.S., in fact, it seems that the big surprise of the next general election will be a strong Canadian Advanced NDP, the party Neodemocratico (social democratic setting, equivalent to the old Ds Italian, plus paying close attention to the civil rights of gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans) which is always the third party in terms of votes, but actually only the fourth in terms of seats, due to the majority system in turn dry.
Why? Different, but on the whole charisma of the leader, the very dynamic Jack Layton (born 1950), leader of the Social Democrats since 2003. Layton has allowed his party in the elections of 2006 and 2008 to match the peak that the NDP had in the '80s under the leadership of Ed Broadbent, a leader who could possibly bring to Enrico Berlinguer, at least as mythology.
Layton, polls say, seems to have managed to make inroads in the richest province in Canada, Quebec, Quebec has always been a monopoly of the block, that of our Northern League localistic only shares the look, the rest being a party to civil, socialist, xenophobic and not speaking. Several voters are deciding to change the block vote, following the remarks of pro-Quebec nation Layton, confederalism a move that has hit the mark in the French-speaking province that was once separatist.
The Globe and Mail reported yesterday interviewing the trend a bit 'of French-speaking voters, as Pierre Jacob, 53, who says: "I have always voted for the block, but I greatly appreciate the NDP social policy. I think we need a more socially-minded conservative politics after so much concerned only to keep its accounts in order and to defend the corporation.
" But the NDP is also nell'elettorato breach of the Liberal Party, as Collette Serret, who says: "I like Jack Layton, the leader is the most positive of all proposed major changes, such as improving the environment, issues that I do not feel touched by Liberals and Conservatives. " Advanced NDP, confirmed by all the houses in polls, really comes as a surprise.
The bookmakers do not point to the picture of Layton this year, as the mustachioed Jack in February 2010 stated that he had prostate cancer and has also had to make to the pelvis. In a country where the image of the leader who is a candidate for prime minister paradoxical importance, are now created the insinuations of his opponents and journalists' questions: Layton is healthy enough to play the role of prime minister? It must be said that to make a political campaign in Canada, one is forced to take a hundred planes within 50 days to cover at least the most densely populated areas and the most symbolic of the second largest country in the world.
The mustachioed Jack had to face early elections this year (the fifth, for Canada, since 2000) helped to walk with a cane, which eventually helped him even as an image, passing from the political profile of the dynamic that of the statesman gritty. The NDP will finish Advanced likely to break the bipartisanship among Canadian Liberals (equivalent to our national Radical Party, but more bland and credible leader) and Conservatives (equivalent to the Italian Republican Party).
Canada, like the U.S., has a population much more progress on the two coasts and in big cities than inside. As in Italy there is also an important distinction between political voting and vote in local elections. The map below outlines the distribution of seats in the various Canadian provinces.
For those not familiar with the geopolitics of Canada, will say only that the Quebec province is the richest and most progressive, followed immediately by the Ontario where Toronto is located, the largest metropolis in the country, and Ottawa, the federal capital. The third and fourth place, in terms of wealth, we have the British Columbia and the Albert.
The capital of BC, the region extremely progressive, similar to California, and Vancouver, which for five years is the city with the best quality of life in the world. The Alberta but has many similarities with the Texas oil wells and fixed voting right. In the picture, the map of the seats in the Canadian provinces.
