Why are so many political parties blowing up?

Because no one wants to live on your flat world.

The short answer is:

The First World's becoming the Party of Trump... freedom keeps chaos at bay...

The Third world's becoming the parties of Commie Carnival barkers offering wealth transfers in exchange for devolving into a Venezuelan hellhole. Delusion keeping chaos at bay for a time...

And the answer?

Switch incentives so power of - and 'to be' a hellhole - is taken 'off the table'...

The U.S. Democrats are fractured between a Bernie Sanders quasi-socialist wing and a center-left wing, but are glued together for now — thank goodness — by the overriding need to defeat Trump.

I would've used 'unglued' but that's just me.
