In Canada we usually have 3 main parties, Prograssive Conservative and
Liberal, which would closely equate to the US Republican and Democrats
parties, and then we have a third even more Left party called the NDP
(National Democratic Party) which usually wants to take the more
Socialist ideas too far, to the point where if they were given free
reign would drive wealthy people out of the country and bankrupt it,
so it can definitely be taken too far in a country that depends on
people working and paying taxes to provide the  government with funds.

The NDP have a use when there's a non majority gov't and they will
vote to help the minority gov't put things through in exchange for some
benefit for the (usually) poor people that they wanted to have added.

i.e..  In one of these deals a while back they got through a plan
that for lower income people covers most of their dental bills.
