What does Canada's conservative party stand for?
Canadian political parties do not "Stand" for anything in particular. They do try to appeal to certain segments of voters so take certain stands on certain issues at certain times. But ruling parties are very quick to abandon even founding beliefs to gain power. The best example would be the Progressive Conservative party. One of the parties from Conservatives history. Since Confederation they stood for Canada and Conservative trade policy while the Liberals stood for Liberalised trade, particularly with the USA. But in the 1980's the PCs threw out over 100years of history and took Canada into Free Trade with the USA and globalsation with the world. Today the Conservative party, which you might think would be conservative in it's trade policy with a put Canada first platform is very pro globalization and fully willing to sell Canada to the highest bidder. At the same time it wants to appeal to the masses so needs to be seen as defending Canada. Liberals and any party thinking it can form government is the same. They may have some things they stand for but are, have to be, quick to toss them aside to gain power. What does Canada's Conservative party stand for? Power, getting it and keeping it.

Yes, the Prime Minister can be reelected as an MP any number of times, even if they are no longer prime minister following their reelection. If you mean 'reelected as Prime Minister', the Prime Minister is not directly elected to begin with. However, the term of a Prime Minister is indefinite, and a Prime Minister can be reappointed by the Governor General any number of times. The only limitation on a Prime Minister's term is that he/she must maintain the confidence of the House of Commons, and can be forced to resign through political pressure (or be dismissed by the Governor General, though this is rare) at any time.

Explain how divided government has contributed to the decline in trust and confidence in government?
A divided party government occurs when one party is in the presidency and the other controls one or both chambers of Congress. Because in a divided government one party can check the other's agenda, it is exceedingly difficult for a party to carry out its policies. Divided party governments in modern times have affected voter behaviors. The inability of a party to bring its promises to fruition has contributed to voter disillusionment in the democratic system, decreasing trust and confidence in government.

What are japan's political parties?
Japan is slowly evolving into a two-party system centering around the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP - Jiminto) and the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ - Minshuto). The LDP is more conservative and ruled uninterrupted from 1955 until 1993. The DPJ is conservative, but more left and brought in many LDP politicans and Socialists in the mid-nineties. In addition to the LDP and DPJ, the Clean Government Party (Komeito) roughly brings in 8-10% of the national votes to become the third largest party and at the times the pivotal party. For example, the LDP and Komeito formed a governing coalition in the late nineties until the LDP's collapse in 2009. Other smaller parties with significant national clout include the Social Democratic Party of Japan (SDPJ), Everybody's Party (Minna no To), and the Japanese Communist Party.
How many times have the labor party won elections?
The Labour Party has achieved an overall majority in the House of Commons on 8 occasions - in 1945 (overall majority of 146), 1950 (5), 1964 (4), 1966 (98), October 1974 (3), 1997 (179), 2001 (167) and 2005 (66).Additionally, though it did not win outright, Labour emerged as the largest party on a hung parliament in 1929 (21 seats short) and February 1974 (17 seats short). It can thus be argued the party has won 10 elections. In 1929, however, the Conservative Party won 203,559 votes more than Labour, but elected 27 fewer MPs.The party came also second in the 1923 general election with 191 seats against the Conservative Party's 258, but still went on to form a single-party minority government with the support of Liberal MPs. Furthermore, in 1951, the Labour Party won over 1.2million more votes than the Conservative Party, but the Conservatives won 7 more seats and were able to form a majority government with their 19 Liberal National allies. Even with the LNP included in their total however, Labour had still won 230,535 more votes than the Conservatives.As such, Labour has won a majority in 8 of 18 elections since the end of the Second World War, been the largest party in 10 of 18 parliaments, formed a government after 11 of 18 elections and been the most popular party in 10 out of 18 elections. It is thus a matter of perspective as to how many elections Labour has won, but it is at least 8 and up to 11.
