<You heedlessly overlook the risk of breakaway politics that the unchecked proliferation of political parties entails..> To start with, who are those "you" you are using?? < It's a much more ominous portent for you yanks than for Europeans> reference.allrefer.com However, note!!, not everything written on that website is correct, it is actually very wrong at 1970-1999s, but at least they claim they use "Data as of December 1988" However, we have had fun with feudal, colonial yuropeans too for some 100-200 years.. <This [1906] system enjoys full public support, for although it favors larger parties slightly, proportional representation allows political participation of small, and even marginal, groups as well. > 20-50 years more and even the Swedes will do it??

What is anglo-murrican-worse, is actually that the 1906 stuff was both just before, and also after the Russian revolution. However, not _one_ single _one_ of the former Russian and SU nations use some funny two-party system anymore, not even Malta, North irealnd, Ireland, Wales nor Scotland, plus funny Australia and almost smart New Zealand. Btw: "The Center Party The Center Party (Keskustapuolue--Kesk), which took this name in 1965 with the aim of widening its appeal and adapting to changing social conditions, was founded in 1906 as the Agrarian Party. It has been, as its present name indicates, the key party in Finnish politics since independence;" Jeferson claimed to be an agrarian, but then there was the problems of his agrarian slaves and his trips to France. From a Jeffersonial point of view I would still prefer to use the word "agrarian party" (indepent, family, no slaves, colonies, feudal landlords, haciendas, etc), although it never worked in the two-party systems still around, more than 300 years left behind. However, thanks to internet, British Clodumbia has blessed the two-party-world with some 30 compact hours to learn some of the basics, except that center party thing. citizensassembly.bc.ca 500 years in just 30 hours is not a really bad deal, although it skips some 200 years, forced to start from the anglo-murrican perspective of the 1700s??
