- Satire -
Suppose you had a family with a dozen kids. Each child representing a Province or Territory, and the parents representing the Government, (played by 'Pa') and the Opposition, (played by 'Ma').
Ma and Pa disagreed with each other on almost everything, a rocky relationship at best, but it was arranged for the sake of the family to work as a unit, tolerate and try to respect each other. Pa being a fiscally responsible and slightly right of centre type. Ma being left of centre or further left if the occasion called for it and a bit of a carefree goodtime party doll most of the time.
