Great example of one reason that a third party in the Congress wouldn't work. Sometimes a parliamentary system, such as the one in Britain, is great. Other times we see the elected members do really dumb things to amass enough support to form a majority. While I believe that there aren't always only two alternatives, at this point for us in the USA, three parties would lead to more of a standstill than we have now. Or to bad deals that would take us in a direction that nobody really wants.
Absolutely spot on, Sree.
