<LOL... How naive you are, Ilmarinen!!> Could you point to where I suggested a (simplistic) multi-party system for USA?? However, what I have mentioned many times is that the crucial part of functional multi-party systems is the existence of a (viable) moderate center party (when majority governments are a must because of constitutional or other similar mechanisms) This centrist party is what effectively offsets the system from unproportional power by the extreme parties. The other thing I have pointed out is that above "process" should start from the local level (and that all of this is virtually impossible with a single-seat district system) <Now do you got the picture?> ?
