How many nations have 2-party systems, in the way that there are only two major parties with a realistic chance of forming a government without a coalition with another party?? How many actually has only two parties in congress, pure 2-party systems (skipping some few, odd independents,etc) How many nations have a lot of small parties and are stable?? How many have heard of the term "center (party) based consensus" Ilmarinen I know the US system fairly well, its stability and frustrations. My point mainly that it can be good to know more about the rest of the world. (for example UK is busy changing their system) Btw, US parties also have to "activate" the extremes out on the edges.
