Ringer - More likely a 3, 4, 5, or 6 party system would evolve. It did in Canada. Yes, there will always be factions...there were even under monarchies, and those factions worked hard to get the king or queen to see it their way. It's the official party apparatus that worries me. It's self-perpetuating and self-enlarging.

It's just like: spirituality doesn't worry me a bit, but organized religions do.

Same basic situation, but under a different label.
