Monopolies arise automatically without setting anything up.

I'm pretty happy with the system in Finland. Not everything is perfect,
of course, but at least there's fierce competition between the political
parties, and that keeps them honest.
Because of the proportional voting system, the 200 seats in the Finnish
Parliament are divided by these parties:
----------------------------- ----------------------------
Government Opposition
----------------------------- ----------------------------
Center Party (49) Social Democratic Party (35)
National Coalition Party (38) Finns Party (17)
Blue Reform (19) Green League (15)
Left Alliance (12)
Swedish People's Party (9)
Christian Democrats (5)
Åland's representative (1)
----------------------------- ----------------------------
Explanation:
Center Party = the social conservatives' party
National Coalition Party = the fiscal conservatives' party
Social Democratic Party = the wage laborers' party
Blue Reform = the angry white men's party
Finns Party = the ultranationalist party
Green League = the do-gooders' party
Left Alliance = the communist party
Swedish People's Party = the coastal Swedish-speakers' party
Christian Democrats = the evangelicals' party
Åland's representative = the autonomous region's quota
