So, this election cycle has been interesting because we are even more seeing the divides within parties on certain issues. I was in a conversation elsewhere and it was brought up that political parties here aren't like parties in other developed nations. Our parties are more like the coalitions of parties we see in other countries. Lots of people with different ideologies in groups that are perceived as right or left of the line. What this creates is two behemoths that don't really represent either ideology, thus explaining the roughly 40% "independent" affiliation in this country.
So, do you think we, the people, should encourage a splitting of these parties into more? Do you think 2 is fine? Do you want to be rid of parties entirely? Do you think there should be a cap on the number of parties? I know this gets brought up here and there in other threads, but I thought one place to make your case about how you would like to see the party politics change in this country would be a good thing.
