Suffolk University/USA Today Poll Shows Support for a Multi-Party System — 5 Comments

  1. We need to break the Washington cartel. The idea of the two-part system is that the parties offer meaningful alternative policies. They no longer do.

  2. So from this there looks to be opportunity if minor parties can get more ballot access and engage more people in voting.

  3. The party bosses of various major and minor parties in California want to bring pure proportional representation to their membership but they are doomed to fail because they are biased towards others, because they want to prevent outsiders from attaining voting power in their own exclusionary entity and because of their own dysfunctional nature with the built-in self-destructive nature of the plurality voting psychology on which they try to build.

    The United Coalition does not have the built-in bias that political parties hold deal.

    The United Coalition has been using pure proportional representation (PPR) for more than twenty-three consecutive years dispute the bullying, the unfair rules, vicious treatment and the unsportsmanlike conduct which all plurality elections reward.

    With the speed of the internet the pluralists could have made use of the team psychology but instead they erect walls.

    No progress towards a multi-party government can be expected under the business as usual by the pluralist.

    The United Coalition has been using the unifying mathematics of parliamentary procedures with success resulting in several innovations since 1992: the eballot, the parliamentary go-ahead and ranked choice consensus voting.

    Other innovations in USA corporate governance which the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and guaranteed gender balance in Top Two unity psychology are also fine examples of evolved corporate and political policies which pluralists cannot attain.
