Quote:I tend to agree.


If you think women are out there having "welfare babies" to increase their income, you have little or no knowledge of welfare or poor women.


Actually, the two party system for a long time was the reason compromise happened in our political system. A multi-party system allows the electorate to become splintered and fragmented, making compromise harder to achieve. I think rollerjag is on to something regarding multi-media / social media - it's as if we have four hundred parties within a two-party system. No one wants to alienate their base, no matter how small.

Welfare babies is just a sensationalistic talking point.


Absolutely I agree the two party system had it's purpose, but It's abundantly clear that it no longer works for the benefit of the country as you pointed out. People have access to a lot more information (good and bad) these days.


Let's not be so against change. That's how we came to be in the first place.
