Re: 2 party system a bad thing?

Your whole post really just states that multiple parties are better without really showing how.

Argh. I'll try to keep it short.
More accurate representation. A much higher voter turnout. More accurate representation. It would break the monopoly of the two-party system. More accurate representation! All kinds of different individuals would come into the limelight, expressing their many views on how to handle the country's problems. Need I say it again? More accurate representation!!!
I mean, seriously, 300 million people cannot be accurately represented by two different political views. There's way more political views in this country than just two.

Perhaps. But, the eventual winner will not match the rest of the country's views very well, else they would have voted for his party instead of the one they did.

Does Bush represent this country's views?

Oh, it could. But being a poker player, I'm sure you understand that the chances are much much slimmer with five parties.
I'll elaborate more later on anything, because this topic really intrigues me. But I gotta go cook some chicken!
