there shouldn't even be parties. there are meant to be representatives of areas of people, who come together, not representatives of parties.

- clairity 6y agoabsolutely. unfortunately the dynamics of our election and political systems has a tendency to degenerate to 2-party power sharing. we need systemic changes that counteract consolidations of power, of representative institutions relative to the represented. for instance, we could cap the number of people a house member could represent to 100,000, and have 3300 representatives instead of 438. it's harder to game 3300 representatives. similarly, we could give each state 100 senators. with modern technology, the practicality of that is no longer a problem. it would be hugely unpopular among the political class however.
