You need a different voting system for third parties to be viable

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago

I agree. The problem is getting a new voting system to be implemented. Neither of the two parties want third parties to get a decent shot at dethroning them, so the two parties right now, are not going to willingly go for a new voting system since the current one ensures that they only have one rival during elections.

It doesn't benefit either party, so neither is going to agree to change it.

Genuinely not trying to be a dick, but I don't understand what your response means?

[-] Jimmyeatsausage@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

The response means, "I agree, but it's not relevant to the topic at hand."

Yes, we need a better system. In the meantime, we need to work with what we have.
