That's not an easy task in the US.

https://linknky.com/elections/2026/05/18/massie-gallrein-gop-primary-
becomes-most-expensive-in-u-s-history/

$32 million, and that for one primary in one state, not even the general 
election. The first task for a new party is to even get on the ballot. 
Ballot access differs in each state but typically you need to have a 
petition signed by registered voters that contains 3-5% of the last 
governor or senator election total voters.

A grassroots volunteer effort only goes so far. The campaigns are costly 
and you have to attract donors well beyond school kids nickles and dimes. 
People like Miriam Adelson are going to ask what's in it for them. In the 
Massie primary it was getting a candidate that loves Israel.

Ross Perot was the last time a third party even came close and all that 
did was siphon Republican votes to get Clinton elected. The deck is 
stacked.

Nor in the UK. Democracy is neutered with respect to an issue, if a 
lobby group for that issue controls all the candidates before the 
election. Massie was a rare exception. The UK recently had Corbyn as an 
exception.

I thought perhaps proportional representation might help, but Europe 
doesn't seem much better. I suspect the problem is the media, we need 
better public information. Limits on lobbying. Limits on who dominates 
the media.

Here, all (tv/radio) media is owned by media magnates, thus they have 
all right wing tendencies. Sometimes you find a station with some left 
inclinations, maybe.

Mildly surprising that a left-leaning Government could have got
elected, then.

But then, Australia has managed to elect a left-leaning Government,
too. And that’s the homeland of Rupert Murdoch. So perhaps there are
limits to the power of right-wing media, after all.

But doesn't last.

The left-leaning government here is really a minority that managed to 
convince enough parties to support them because the right had been 
caught with tremendous corruption. They even got the support of a 
regional separatist right wing party. Thus a weak government.

And they are immersed now in a bunch of corruption cases of their own, 
most probably invented by the right, with the help of right wing judges 
and police forces.

The timing is... curious because this Thursday there was apparently a
situation of that kind involving PS in .pt. It's a heck of a coincidence
that it has happened on the same week as with PSOE in .es.

From what I've seen that winds up with two major parties and an array of 
minor parties. If the major party can't form a government on its own the 
minor parties that are compatible might get something out of the horse 
trading. 

While it is a two party system on the face of it similar negotiations go 
on within the factions of the Republicans and Democrats.

The Germans put a proportional representation in place after World War
II specifically to ensure that a dictator could never gain power there
again. Seems to have worked so far.

It has worked so well, we in NZ copied it.

Maybe time for the US to give it a try?

As I pointed out it's effectively the same as the US. The Nationals form 
the government until they piss off enough people that Labour gets back 
in. 

I will admit NZ First is amusing and doesn't seem to know what it wants to 
be when it grows up. I certainly don't understand the nuances but a 
Labour-NZ First coalition?

You obviously don't know enough about our democracy to understand what
a "Koalition" is and how important it is for two, three or four
parties to find a compromise that'll find a majority in parliament.

This works _considerably_ better than majority systems as we see in
the UK or in the US, but it's far from perfect. But this is the best
democracy we can offer.

The way I see the US attitude to their own system, they see politics
as a zero-sum game: whatever one side wins, the other side must lose.
So you must never, at all costs, concede anything to the other side,
even if it’s something good for your side as well.

With a multiparty democracy (as in Germany and NZ), there is more room
for negotiation: each party gets something it wants, even if nobody
gets enough to entirely satisfy them. Things still manage to get done.

Another thing worth pointing out: look at the proneness of the US
system to total Government shutdowns as a result of deadlocks over
budget negotiations. How many times has that happened? Has that ever
happened in Germany? It has certainly never happened in NZ.

This doesn't have anything to do with the country having a population less 
than New York City does it? Did you ever have a civil war? How does all 
that scale to a population roughly 60 times larger?

I'm not sure Germany is a good example. They seem to be intent on national 
suicide.

Yes, the Democrat argument was essentially correct. However, it 
neglected to mention that if you vote for the Democrats automatically 
there is no pressure on them to implement the policy that you actually 
want, they only needed to implement less bad policy than the Republicans.

The same game is played all over western democracies.

It works until a third party comes along that actually delivers a little

Is Farage and UK Reform such a party? Starmer's days seem to be numbered

Well it remains  to be seen But copying Churchill's remedy for the 
American dilemma, Reform is what is left when you exhausted  all the others.

And British voters realise that wonderful dreams are no substitute for a 
bit of hard bitten competence.

The late John W. Campbell, editor of Astounding/Analog Science Fiction
magazine, corrected that old phrase by substituting "immunity" for
"power".  The two are often confused because power often confers
immunity, unless appropriate checks and balances are in place.
You're less likely to abuse power if you can be called to account
for it.  That's why the first thing many politicians do when they
take office is to try to establish immunity.  I suspect that Trump
was doing a lot of work behind the scenes to dismantle the checks
and balances which seem to have suddenly become ineffective.
The coup might be already be complete.

    If you are part of a society that votes, then do so.
    There may be no candidates and no measures you want
    to vote _for_ - but there are certain to be ones you
    want to vote _against_.  In case of doubt, vote _against_.
    By this rule you will rarely go wrong.

    If this is too blind for your taste, consult some
    well-meaning fool (there is always one around) and
    ask his advice.  Then vote the other way.  This
    enables you to be a good citizen (if such is your
    wish) without spending the enormous amount of time
    on it that truly intelligent exercise of franchise
    requires.
