It's challenging in the US with a lot less but still the best system we know of
- skeletal88 5y agoIt is better in other countries where there are more than 2 parties who have a chance of getting to power. A coalition government is better than the winner-takes-it-all system. The two party system creates an us vs them mentality where both are equally bad on most things but there is no real choice for the voters.
- jahnu 5y agoI largely agree. It's certainly harder to game a three+ party system into whatever the heck has happened in the US in the past 40 years.
