You’re only able to choose two options, how is that democracy? I thought democracy was about being able to choose anyone you think is suitable to be a leader, not one of two pre-selected people. At that point, it’s not much different to a one-party system, just with two people rather than only one person.

    Many democracies form coalitions between smaller parties to create a majority voting block - the US just does it before the election.

      As I’ve always said… do the coalitions for a party or do the parties for a coalition?

      End of the day, what’s the difference?
