Or of a winner-take-all electoral system? I can’t say that the systems I’ve seen which have you vote for an amorphous entity instead of a tangible and somewhat accessible person are better in every sense, exactly, but I think of the sort of environment which would develop the word bipartisan to mean universally supported and can’t shake off an overwhelming feeling of stupid.
