Even in countries that haven't devolved into a two party system you have the same problem. The political parties are trying to appeal to a similar voter base and they simply go off on just a few issues during campaigns. When they actually get into power they tend to have to make decisions about things that are completely different than what was talked about during the campaign. If none of the political parties talk about increasing internet connectivity, but that's a very important issue for me, then I'm basically picking at random.
