    Or more, as long as there is a proper required number of votes why limit to 4 arbitrary parties. US has too little representatives anyway. A number should be set per number of inhabitants.

      While a nice sentiment, we are organized social creatures by nature. It’s always going to end up in a small amount of larger groups and that’s just how it goes. No matter how well or bad a system works, the system is still made of people and we will congregate into specific roles and ideologies just as the very cells in our bodies group together to perform larger functions.

        Sure, but I can imagine the US can have larger parties from separate states or some parties that represent a group of states. With the plurality of inhabitants, climates, environments the US just seems like it would be way better suited for a system with a plurality of parties. Representatives based on inhabitants… I dunno one per 500k people or something. And STAR voting system per state instead of first past the pole.
