actually it would be in both parties best interests if there could be more parties because that would mean that they like have more freedom to like debate their ideas and stuff.

I'm always baffled by otherwise intelligent people just accepting explanations like this with no further thought. How would that benefit them exactly? Even when I was a hardcore :LIB: , I knew that neither party wanted any other parties from coming in the door; it simply wouldn't behoove them, especially if you (naively) believe at face value that they want to do good things, but are hamstrung by other people/procedures.
