The General Political Thread

[Cazasar]

A multiple Party system would be very good for the US. You have Sanders, Biden, Obama, AOC and Warren in the same party? In a normal system, they would be in different parties but could form a majority in the parlament. Same goes for the GOP. Imagine voting for a party that stands for 80-90% of your opinion and not just 40%.

yep, as someone from a working democracy watching the american political system is very frustrating

"let me show you stupid ameritards what a real democracy looks like"

I do hope you are merely pretending to be retarded

the parties will probably just form alliances similar to how the political climate is now anyway so more than likely wont be a big difference and will probably just make you think youre more important than you are and will still have to bow down to our true glorious leaders

you'd be surprised
canada has 3 major political parties and factions aren't too common. been a true minority government here since the last election

I mean even if, these alliances are coalitions and are still LEAPS better then your shit 2 Party System.

Theo is Canadian... so its not his system. Just his weird neighbours system.


About the Merkel pic: you know she got voted every 4 years and there were always candidates from other parties, right? So she  (in Germany her party) is elected by most people, they built a coalition with another party and then she is elected by the parliament to be the Bundeskanzlerin. There is no problem if the person you vote for does not have so much power like the US President and has to be a good solution for most people, not just the 'better than the other Option' votes.

The voting system creates the party system, preferential or ranked ballot voting would allow 3rd party viability but that would mean people in power giving up power. Didn't happen under trudeau, definitely not happening under republicans or democrats.

[Kore]

given how flawed the us voting system is, multiple parties would lead to even more confusion and fraud

[Cazasar]

Imagine having to Register to vote

Imagine having to Register to vote

Imagine closing voting stations in cities so the libtards have to wait for hours.

Could happen, but more likely the parties will built a social, a liberal, a conservative, an enivorment, a populist and a socialist party. Probably a christian party for the evangelists. Maybe a socialist one.
There are people in both parties in the us that can be sorted in the liberal party. Some in the social party from both Dems and Reps.
In the end it could only help the people to find a party that fits them better.

I mean the primaries are basicly like deciding between different parties on the right to far right (Republicans) and centre-right to centre to left (Democrats).
I think more parties would make it harder if anything for more voices to get through in a first past the post system.
Just look at the UK, Labour and Conservatives are basicly winning all district elections even though the Liberals tend to get between 7-20% each election.

Yes, and still the tories need the DUP to have 50%. And its not just about the government. If the party makes it into the parliament, they have a voice. Thats more worth than having a party that stand for 40% or your opinion having the majority in a Parlament.

[Furrnox]

No they don't the tories have 365 seats out of 326 needed for a majority, the tories have formed a government alone. DUP was from 2017-2019.
Also like I said that's what primaries are for I doubt more parties would make any difference in congress.
Maybe if it was introduced with some sort of proportioinal representation system but that would probably be called an infringement on state rights so I doubt that would ever happen.

even if third parties don't get into government or coalitions they at least compete for voters
