Display MoreSo let's say hypothetically, the entire two party system is dismantled and the process starts over, as you suggest. The politicians are generally the same, with different viewpoints based on their party views. but you do have more choices. Now there are three parties to choose from.
You will now have three parties of elite political class made of up politicians on three corners of the triangle who think they are above the people. If your party does not get in power, you will still not be happy, regardless of which party you support.
All you really have done is created another monster, so you have three options instead of two, to pick the lesser of the three evils. You can't actually believe that having a 3rd monster will somehow fix the system?
Now what happens is the 3rd party tries to align themselves with the ruling party to get some of their concessions, while supporting the ruling party concessions. They won't align themselves with the other losing party as they then don't get any concessions.
Same monster, different way to get the same result.

What do you get, a guarantee that the ruling party represents far less than 50.01% of the (voting, legal) population ..
Or in other words....
