Why Parties Matter

My column this week on Loonie Politics takes issue with recent columns by others calling for the abolition of political parties, because I argue that they are looking at the wrong things, ignoring the things they should be paying attention to, and in the end, advocating exactly the wrong solution to the  problems that exist. It was also another excuse to turn to one of my favourite topics, being civic literacy, and to explaining the parts of our system that most people don't realise exist for a reason.
