First, I have offered no slander against Europe, second it was you a European who first opined about the ills of the US system and its preference for a two Party system offering a majority legislative opinion as opposed to a pluralistic legislative opinion...apparently mindless of the Constitutional reqirement for a majority opinion on most legislative matters and specific margins of majority on other issues.

What I am driving at is, that Europeans have no standing in how we do thing here. I don't mean this rudely, but rather that we Americans mostly don't care how you organize your governments so long as you represent no threat to us. For the most part ,Europe is not a threat, noncooperative at times, sure, but not a threat so we likewise have no standing to interfere in how you structure your governments...Eastern Europe upon the fall of the Iron Curton was a bit of a different natter it was in the interest of the US to encourage capitatistic free republics and we did.

With all respect, but pluralistic system with coalition governments is one of the best ways to safeguard the interests of minorities. Two major parties, which both stands at the centre 60% of the voting population, cannot be expected to cover all interests in their programmes [thus creating lobbying and political corruption], while in a pluralistic system, different interest groups could start their own parties and actually expect to gain influence on an almost equal basis with the major parties.

Therion, it is fine that you hold that opinion, but it is simply not the US system. WE do thing our way because of our constitution.

Second Amendment is a good part of the constitution, electoral votes is a bad part.

Both are good. Why do you dislike the Electoral College?
