@Art Dent There is no left or right by the modern definitions given , this is a false dichotomy - only a spectrum of globalists to nationalists. Every major party in Canada and in the States are some form of globalist. Right and Left has only ever pertained to wings of globalism, say for example the Left Opposition Communists to the Right Opposition Communists (Trotskyites) of the USSR. Or the right wing Gorindins to the left wing Montagnards; and later left wing Robbspierists to the right wing Dantonists of the Montagnards. In the same way the GOP and Tories are the right wing (neo conservatives, who are torch bearers of the Trotskyites) to the Liberal, Greens, NDP, DNC’s left wing.

[@WeWereTheStorm]

I’m from the American South you clod and am no fascist, but label me however you like if it makes you feel better ;)

[@WeWereTheStorm]

Again with the left-right false dichotomy. Chomsky can shove it for trying to limit descustions into his little Globalist box. I would expect that from him seeing as he is a globalist. Stifling actual discussion benefits him. What about false dichotomy don’t you understand? Note than in EVERY example I gave nationalist and monarchists (or “right wingers” as you call them) are entirely left out of the spectrum. The GOP is marginally Nationalist now thanks to Trump, but is still made up of neo-conservative Trotskyites. Meanwhile the Democrats have culturally been pushing left since the 1960s and have now started adopting socialist ideas.

@@DingDingTheKZbinBuddy I could see that happening. Especially since a lot of Bernier's fans (if they even live in Canada) seem to be under the impression that Canadians vote for a Prime Minister when they really vote for a Party. Bernier will likely lose simply due to the PPC being smaller than the CPC. Though I could definitely see Scheer as PM with the PPC as a major part of a coalition government influencing the CPC.

[@gryphonpol]

Something similar happened in the UK in 1970. Edward (E.R.G.) Heath, the Conservative leader of the opposition and soon to be Prime Minister, was seeking re-election in his Bexley constituency. Someone called Edward (E.J.R.L.) Heath also stood as a 'Conservative and Consult the People' candidate. He had changed his surname from Lambert to Heath for the election. The ruse did not work as the prominent Heath got 27,075 votes whilst the obscure Heath attracted 938.

Meanwhile in Germany, there is a party called "Die Partei" which literally translates to "The Party", which is also a joke party, but has won seats in the European Parliament and various city councils.

[@Hand-in-Shot_Productions]

Ah, yes, as an American who _is_ aware of the outside world, I have heard of the "Party for Labour, Rule of Law, Animal Protection, Promotion of Elites and Grassroots Democratic Initiative" (Die Partei für Arbeit, Rechtsstaat, Tierschutz, Elitenförderung und basisdemokratische Initiative). Already, we are off to a humorous start with such a ridiculously long name (ostensibly to attract a ridiculously broad audience) whose name boils down to "The Party", which yes, is the nickname garnered by many parties in historical one-party states (and, as we Americans know it, the party in _1984,_ by George Orwell). _Die_ _PARTEI_ does have some real policies, such as environmentalism and support for the EU, but other than that, it's "populist" platform includes satirical policies like rebuilding the Berlin Wall and turning the former DDR (East Germany) into an SBZ, which is either a "Sonderbewirtschaftungszone" ("Special Economic Zone") or a "Sowjetische Besatzungszone" ("Soviet Occupation Zone", the nickname given by West Germany to East Germany during the Cold War). According to them, "there will be no order to shoot at the Wall", which sounds nice (then again, as another official of another "The Party" in the history of German division said: "nobody has the intention of building a wall"). That's not all, since there are many satirical slogans and campaign promises that have been made by Die PARTEI, many of which I get (though some need explanation, such as the slogan "Hamburg - City in the North!", which sounds more geographical than satirical). For more information and German humor (and _ja,_ Germans _do_ have a sense of humor): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Die_PARTEI

In Estonia, in the 1990's when we had just regained our independence, we had a Royalist Party. Their official program was focused around making Estonia a kingdom. I'm too young to remember them personally, but they were essentially seen as a satirical protest movement that became unexpectedly popular. In the 1992 election they even won about 7% of the vote and 8 seats in the Parliament. They did not join any interest groups or caucuses in the Parliament, but were known for some humorous actions. For example when there was talk of starting sessions of Parliament with a prayer (presumably a Lutheran christian one), the Royalists brought some big shaman's drum and started beating that.

The Rhino party should rename itself the Mario Party, it'll get plenty of support from young people now.

[@thomasatkinson7319]

Britain has exactly the same thing as the Rhino Party called the "Monster Raving Loony Party". They only really stand in seats that they think will get particular media attention (key marginals, leaders' seats, etc.) and invariably abuse British electoral law on candidate names to be registered as things like "Nick The Flying Brick" who stood in Islington North (Jeremy Corbyn's constituency) and "Lord Buckethead" in Uxbridge & South Ruislip (Boris Johnson's constituency). They hold a special position in the national conscience as sort of guardians of the British people's healthy disregard towards politics, but are generally seen as being (like the Rhino Party) a bit last century.

[@ronaldwayne7092]

Bonus facts about the Rhino Party: 1. Maxime Bernier is not the first Rhino to run against a candidate with the same name. John Turner did so in Vancouver Quadra in 1984, during John Turner's brief term as PM. 2. As someone mentioned below, the Rhinos finished second in a couple of Quebec ridings in 1980. At the time, it was the job of the top TWO finishers in each riding to hire enumerators in the next election. So parts of Quebec had Rhino enumerators in 1984.

[@t.b.g.504]

The Rhino Candidate, (John C. Turner) the "other" John Turner in Quadra was an unemployed carpenter whose very presence on the ballot in 1988 left the Liberals to distribute how-to-vote cards and also plaster an 'N' on lawn signs for John N. Turner, who won re-election, with 24k votes to the Rhino's 700.

Unfortunately, Bernier really screwed our party over. He attracted much of our supporters with the hope of more electoral success, and then compromised a lot of the principles that drew over the supporters in the first place.

Love the knowing better and jreg cameos

[@realhawaii5o]

I heard Trans and Dental Medication... What a great party. I was very confused by what that was until I realized I had misunderstood.

[@kennyiv1657]

Absolutely genius how you acted like nothing happened during the cut

[@QQ-rx9xp]

Jreg and jj in the same video. Man the world is strange and wonderful.

[@estudiopegasus7951]

Actually it was a monkey here in Brazil, not a Rhino, his name Was Macaco Tião(something like "Sebastian the monkey") and he was very famous because he threw poo in a politician one time... May he rest in peace

[@gabrielz8152]

The rhinoceros party reminds me a lot of Vermin Supreme, who runs on the same wacky principle, and is a remnant of old political satire.

[@thekidfromiowa]

The Yippies had joke candidates like Pigasus and Nobody

[@ashkitt7719]

Clinton claimed Bernie Sanders would give everyone a free pony but only Vermin Supreme has promised that. I once asked him who the Best Pony in MLP was and I only remember him saying “You’re one of those.” I forgot if he actually answered. (I haven’t watched MLP in years. I lost interest.)

[@ZerpPickleZiP]

2:17 what is the censored one? Edit 5 months later: Its the fascist/nationalist/nazi party

The aesthetic of this video is so nice- like JJ this colour grading is peaking to my soul

[@brentgill7180]

How about a part 2 with some of the newer parties? Like the PPC and the Maverick? Love this video and would love to hear more!

[@keeganfreiheit3252]

This was actually something I needed, yesterday I asked my self this question and just said there are 5 parties

There’s actually something called “Anarcho-Communism”

**sad ferret noises**

[@anarchostatist191]

That's because not everyone likes KZbinrs who exclusively repost Vox articles mixed with Wikipedia. And for Vox: not everyone likes dragging themselves through 40 irrelevant sources scattered through 3 pages that include their own articles, uncited twitter threads, and articles from their partner companies that reference articles from their partner companies.

[@Caniewaak]

Can't believe I gave up and watched a JJ McCullough video and I actually got me some JReg. Pleasantly surprised.

[@mizel101]

I didn't expect this crossover

Bonus award for having Knowing Better on as a cameo.

[@justanotheranimationchanne5725]

I have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about but I am extremely invested

[@123digdog]

Jreg is probably one of the best Canadian you tubers to come out this year. I’m really glad JJ gave him this feature. I hope more people watch Jreg videos he’s way to underrated.

[@drgabe2908]

Me seeing Jreg in this video: "A surprise to be shure but a welcome one"

When you spoke of "those voters" near the end it was spot on my Dad 😂

The "Fringe parties" don't actually run in all that many seats. Where I live, I had 5 options on my ballot in 2015 and 6 in 2019. These were the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP, Green, Bloc, and most recently PPC.

[@pallesudate4677]

00:01 still less than Italy, we have something like 20 parties and i didn't even know more than a half of them.....

[@TheBlackestKey]

Rhino party said they'd eliminate Mondays, so they pretty much have my vote

[@xxdewxx9]

I’ve been waiting for Knowing Better and JJ to do something together, the two of them are my favorite channels on this site. Thanks for the great content J.J !

[@musicoruu]

JJ and Jreg are the most iconic canadian duo

[@tobster9838]

"The guy in Albania" was Enver Hoxha who pretty much created North Korea in Europe mainly due to him being a staunch stalinist, so he became cut off from all other socialist countries at the time

[@ChrisSizzly]

Glad to see you back at making your best content. As an American, I mostly rely on your insightful videos to keep me up to speed on our neighbor's politics. Well done, JJ.
