Abstract
This paper aims to analyze the origin, development and strategies of the Canadian party-based left and its evolution as a political group to compete in federal elections. From its beginnings in the 1930s, the left as an organized movement of parties has had to adapt to a political system of British origin favoring a two-party system of liberals and conservatives. This condition reinforces our hypothesis and findings that the Canadian political system favors bipartisanship (liberal/conservative) excluding other parties to gain access to power, which constitutes a paradox of democracy. Consequently, finding and extending new bases of support and redesigning ideological principles around normative documents, are all elements that lend support to this political option in each electoral process.
