American needs 2 working parties.
And it will continue to have. But when one of those parties looses direction, the electorate tells them so. Then, if they have a brain, they will discover where they went wrong, rebuild themselves, and if they do it right, the electorate will let them know.
Canada is a classic example. One of their 2 main electable parties went off course. they were soundly defeated.
They had to rebuild, and they have. They almost came back and won, if they would have had a little more time, they would have won. Unfortunately, the unpopular liberal party saw the momentum the new, rebuilt party was gaining, and called an early election to retain power. the Liberals won with only 37% of the popular vote.
Next time, (and it could happen any time because of the minority situation the Liberals are in) they will win over the Liberals.
Despite what biased Canadian lefty press says, Canada is not a leftwards country anymore. How can it be when the left only has 37% support?
As we see in the USA, when democrats have power, they try redraw districts in order to win elections.
In Canada, the liberals do the same thing. they stack the senate, (which is appointed, not elected), plus they have disproportionate representation between provinces, which the liberals will not correct, because it's not to their advantage.
You can be sure, that when conservatives regain power in Canada, proportional representation will be implemented, so elections are more fair, like the USA. The senate reforms will be done, so they will be elected, not selected.
Then the people will never again be stuck with a dictatorship liberal government, which seems to be the only way they can stay in power.
America should be thankful the founding fathers took it upon themselves to insure the USA would have true democratic elections. Be thankful. I know I sure am. (democrats sure hate fair elections though) I'm a dual citizen, but I live the better part of each year in the USA. It's just a better place to be. Taxes over all, are cheaper, and despite the whining of the democrats, even the social fabric of the nation is better. has anyone driven on a Canadian road lately? Can you spell new front end every 6 months?
