The problem that I have with your comment is that political parties that govern for many years often lose sight of what the electorate want. Case in point the Alberta PCs.  Having one party govern in perpetuity  is never a good thing no matter what political stripe you are.  I think it is healthy for voters to vote in one direction and then another.  It makes politicians pay attention to what they are doing.

Which brings me to what I hear too often: the only reason to get rid of the NDP is because they are the NDP.  As a voter we all need to pay attention to what our government is doing: both the good and the bad.  And the NDP have done both good and not so good.  As did the PCs before them.
