But there are third parties, in UK, Aus, US, they just do not get enough votes. For mainland Europe there are loads of parties. Not just three or four, which might be working optimal for democracy, of course, but life is not like that. They have maybe 7 or 12 or 24 parties. Who can not work with each other.
Feel inclined UK, Aus, US, system being - at least no worse, perhaps better.
