Some Canadians believe they've become 'political orphans' as all the major parties have become 'too extreme' in their views, according to a new survey by Angus Reid Institute.
More than one-third of Canadians believe the country's two biggest political parties, the federal Liberals and Conservatives, have become more extreme and have moved away from the middle when it comes to their political beliefs, according to a new survey.
Half of respondents say the Conservative Party of Canada has shifted either “a bit” or “much more” to the right. "This is a common sentiment even among likely voters," Angus Reid Institute wrote. It noted that two-in-five current Conservative and Liberal supporters believe they don’t have political options that represent their views. This also applies to 58 per cent more likely NDP voters and 55 per cent Bloc Québécois voters.
