The Mouseland analogy is actually a political allegory as the black cats and white cats draw parallelisms to Canada's traditional cadre parties including Conservatives and Liberals in it for power and not the people, and the mice formed mass party parelling the ND.
In Canadian politics, what it means is if people are unhappy with Tories, they vote Liberal, but unhappy with Liberal, vote Tories, and the cycle goes on.
They don't realize that there's a third choice, the NDP.
Read the blurb Einstein. The whole point is that the NDP betrayed Tommy Douglas' legacy, stopped representing ordinary working class people, and became just like every other party - pro-capitalist, pro-big business, pro-ruling class and anti-working class. So I wouldn't disagree with your rant at all. Also, I'm not a Canadian and I'm not NDP. I just recognise a great speech when I hear it.
@simontimon2 Not all NDP Governments have ended in failure.
Saskatchewan and Manitoba operated under numerous NDP Governments, and done very well.
Nova Scotia now has an NDP Government, and they are doing a great job managing the province. The main reason is that Nova Scotia's NDP is more of a "3rd way" or centrist party than their traditional NDP counterparts in Ontario, BC, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba.
