      you’re not talking about democracy, you’re talking about the specific system used in the US

      most countries in europe do not have a 2-party system, here in sweden we have one party (the social democrats) with 33% of votes and then like 7 other parties with decreasing numbers of votes, that have to come together with a majority of the votes to form a government.

      • Yes, but all 8 parties will strategically position themselves around the overton window to gather as many votes as possible.

        If you have 2 parties as in the US then obviously it’s one party either side.

        I’m Australian BTW. 3 major parties, many small ones.
