The BQ IS a purely regional party, always has been and always will be, it's not like they've ever claimed the contrary. But the federal law has no dispositions against these sorts of parties so any other province or territory could start a regional party too, it's the way the system works.
I'm not saying its against the law, and it is how the system works, yes. But is it a good system? I dont think so. Thats why I get pissed off, seeing one party that could care less about the rest of Canada having so much representation and say in national matters. It makes no sense to me. Forget about reconfiguring the electoral map, the entire system needs to change.
