Listing some Canadian peculiarities:
—Resistance to coalition governments. Apart from Borden's Union Government that collected dissident Liberals, no coalition government has formed on the federal level. Provincially, the only coalitions since Confederation were Liberal-Conservative ones in PEI, Ontario and BC*, and a Conservative-Progressive one in Saskatchewan.
—Party leadership elections determined by party members alone.
—Increasing distaste for Question Period (Question Time for the Brits)
—Numerous provincial political parties independent from their federal namesakes.
—Choosing a diverse set of cabinet ministers, and appointing viceroys of ethnic descent.
*The coalition in BC was the only one during the 20th Century.
More to come later, maybe another post for China.
