MODERATORS
Not sure why the downvotes on OP, it's a reasoned opinion and worthy of discussion.
I think you're saying that if you have too many political parties then the whole system gets watered down so much that nothing happens and the direction of the country can change at any time because there's no unified agenda. Isn't there a system to elect a leader who'd set the agenda and coordinate?
One would hope that through conversation we’d have more reasoned information but it appears camping on a platform is where people go to “win”.
We’ve dozens of parties trying to win to form a coalition, so sheer numbers don’t help. You can easily argue that our politics have grown stale and ineffective here in the recent years, and there’s a growing need for change.
For instance we’ve already had a few elections where a farmers collective party and the far right party have won their elections, but immediately afterwards (sometimes within a day, as in the farmers (BBB)) they’ve abandoned key parts of the platform that helped get them elected. Or their positions are so vile that no other party will work with them.
I’d argue that there are the side effects of taking a position first and wanting change at any cost. This is the cost - only more stagnation.
My point is “more” does not mean “better” - often, it’s just more of the same. Vote for and demand “Better”.
We have, not we've
The conjuction doesn't work when "have" is the verb in the sentence
Contraction. Conjunctions are "and", "but", etc.
