The political history of Canada is just flipping back and forth between the Liberal Party and Conservative party (with the name of the Conservative party switching now and then). I consider it very weakly “multi-party,” IMO the third parties act as spoilers more often than they act as a “check” on government. The main thing that’s keeping third parties around is that minority governments aren’t completely ineffectual. I’d rather see coalition governments like those common in Europe, though.

In my opinion, New Zealand has the best system. Proportional representation and ranked choice voting.
