A partir de su nacimiento en la década de 1930, la izquierda organizada en agrupaciones partidistas se ha adaptado a un sistema político de origen británico que favorece el bipartidismo entre liberales y conservadores. Esta condición refuerza nuestra hipótesis y hallazgos de que el sistema político canadiense favorece el bipartidismo (liberal/-conservador), impidiendo que otros partidos puedan contender por el acceso al poder, lo que constituye una paradoja de la democracia. Así, la búsqueda y extensión de bases de apoyo y la transformación de ejes ideológicos en documentos normativos son elementos que ayudan a mantener vigente a esta opción política en cada proceso electoral.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[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.]]></p></abstract>
