Topic	The two party system in the US is really bad for the democracy,

Canada, Germany, England, France, etc. The 2 party system and 24 hour news have resulted in compromise being a sign of weakness instead of being the result of good politics. First past the post voting needs to go. Canada, UK and France all use FPTP. Canada and UK have huge two-party problems. France doesn't for whatever reason. Maybe it's because the republic is less than 60 years old, so the party system hasn't had time to converge yet. France has two voting rounds. First round to determine which 2 candidates face off against each other in the final rounds. So while they do have first past the post, they have a system that allows people to actually vote for a candidate they like the most instead of having to pick which one is less worse. Since worst case they don't win first round of voting and you can just vote for someone else in the 2nd round. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:886120036] in The two pa...
