What is the real disconnect with political parties?
My column this week on Loonie Politics looks at the recent Samara Canada report on how Canadians engage with political parties, and I offer some analysis of my own, both of the propositions put forward in the report, the responses therein, and what I feel may be a diagnosis of the disconnect based on my own reading of Canadian political history and institutions.
