As someone in a country with a vibrant multi-party system (I'm not comfortable mentioning where), I would be wary of proposing it as a solution to fix democracy. Ours is very, very broken, but it is certainly a few steps ahead of a two-party system. I would also go so far as to say that representative democracy, where you vote for a party based on a broad raft of ideas they pose in their manifesto, and then leave it entirely up to them to implement them or make new laws based on their interests and interpretation, is not real democracy at all. The logistics of actually having informed citizens able and willing to participate in every decision, and making the process transparent and open for public participation is certainly a huge issue and it is not something I have a solution to. But that feels more like "real" democracy to me. Where the elected representative is just that. They represent their electorate (and not a "party") and are only there to put forward votes or policy drafts that their base has approved with a basic (or two-thirds) majority.
