Sikboy: Without reforming our election laws, we will always have a 2 party system.

Leviathn: Yes, but multiparty systems have been shown to result in sub-optimal outcomes.

Sikboy: Well, err, there is always that.

We've had this discussion before in here.

here's my take on Durverge's law from the last time this came up.

Quote

I just noticed that the definition I posted from the fact-index gives the "what" but not the "how" on Durverge's law. Here's the basics on how it works.

Lets say that today, we start a brand new government on the AHBBS. We're going to elect a board of governerns who will dictate what threads can be started, and who can post blah blah blah. During this first election cycle, people with like minds will begin to get together. The "Cut-N-Paste" party will attract the Conservatives, with the "Death to Amerrikkka" party gaining strenght with our Overseas friends. There's a "Strong Military, low tax" party and the "Smoke Pot and Collect Welfare" will have a few members, while the "Air America" party will keep the Liberals happy.

In the first election, it's a close contest, but the Cut-N-Paste party wins. So, the next time we hold elections the following conversation occurs:
Air America leader: You should join us, we're way better than the cut-n-paste lunatics!
Death To Amerrikkka leader: **** that, you suck... death to amerikkka! Oh wait... you're right, I can't deal with another 4 years of Ripsnort in charge. Ok fine, we'll join you.

In the 2nd election, The "Air Amerrikkka" ticket beats the incumbant Cut-N-Paste administration. Which, leads to the following conversation:

C-N-P leader: We need to join together if we are to stand a chance against the Air Amerrikka ticket!
Strong and Low: No ****, I can feel my taxes getting higher, and the military getting weaker, this is ****ed up.

So, as the elections go by, the parties join one another until you end up with approx 1/2 of the population on one left sided party, and 1/2 on a right sided party. Then most of the time, each party fights it out over the moderates who could go either way.

our real leader is the cic whoever that may be. i really like mccain but bush jr has been on the job and hes made some good calls. you cant compare mccain to him until mccain has had the title and had to make the calls. and when are you going to get it that the swifties arent pro republican they are anti scumbag.

Why isn't McCain in the White House today? He crosses the political lines with his views and support. He's a moral, honorable, trustworthy politician. How many can you say THAT about? The country needs and deserves a leader like John McCain.


If you believe this, I have this little company called Microsoft that I'd like to sell you...

Slimm50.....fence sitter and appeaser...

 Why do you think the left likes him?

  Col. Day, I believe that is his name, was the senior pow , a pow longer than mc cain. He has been silent on all this until yesterday.... He said that after mc cain said his piece he had to say his. He said that because of kerry testamony the pows suffered more torture while the N.V. played his testamony over and over. Because of the extra torture a couple of pows died.

  Now is this man a lier to, which brave soul will say he is?
   
 The left just doesnt get it, it isnt about medals.
