      Nope, our election system doesn’t support it and actually has a spoiler effect because you end up tacitly supporting the other side by not voting for one of the two strongest parties.

        Better situation than India 😩. One side we have a leftist younger leader who got character assassinated. And the other side is a dictator that follows an ideology similar to nazism. And people got so brainwashed in the last 10 hears of his rule that it won’t be shocking if India transforms into a one party rule like CCP.
