Entry: A Revolution Betrayed? Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/a_revolution_betrayed#16990 Post contents: "Americans, unlike Europeans, lack the skills to form political parties." Sid: You might fancy yourself a one-man reverse dialectic, wearing whatever socio-historical ideological hat that fits the occasion, but this is pure ignorance. Do yourself a favor and take a course about electoral politics at your local community college. It's all about the electoral system. Europeans form more political parties because of the electoral systems there, particularly proportional representation. Not single-member districts. It's pure logic. For an example of a country with a functioning three-party system, take the UK, which in many ways falls somewhere between America and Europe in its electoral system. Sent at: 2008 05 16
