Seems to be common in two-party democracies anyway. I say scrap political parties, it's not like they stick to their roots or make sense anyway.

It might be somewhat better with multi-party democracies, instead of two pretty much equal options you have 3 or more... I think Iceland's experiment in (somewhat more) direct democracy is very interesting.
