Since the big parties in my country often advocate it, I wonder how I'd behave if only two parties were to be elected. While I see certain advantages of that system (I have to, I see the bad things happening with our alternative system, like the forming of coalitions I did not vote for), I might very well lose interest in voting as well. I would have lost it in my latest elections, where both big parties engaged in dirty campaigning and solution-free accusations.
We shall see what happens. We have ranked choice voting cropping up in Maine, and it may happen elsewhere. This helps lend some credibility to alternative options as it makes votes for them less of a spoiling vote.
