  • In the US system capping the house makes no sense. If the lower chamber represents the population, and the upper the states, capping the house just forces the house to more reflect the states more and dilutes the individual power of people in more populated states. The result is a right lean, since right leaning states are less populated overall. Gross.

  • I agree with almost all of this except the idea only the NDP trying to make things better. The Liberals have done a lot to benefit the working class. We've had income tax cuts, the inversion of the regressive child tax credit into the child benefit, and honestly a lot more that I won't list for fear of turning this into something like a gish gallop.

  • I think you're confusing social democracy with democratic socialism. The first is as you say, and has huge overlap with liberalism, left liberalism, and progressive liberalism.

    The second is achieving socialism through democratic means, without the need to overthrow government as once was believed to be entirely nessecary.

    But then again, terms do change context over time, and by place. So maybe I'm the one who is wrong.
