[QUOTE=Reagent;36240903]i think that the best idea would be a 10-15 party system or even a no-party system. At this point in time i feel that it would alienate a lot of voters and confuse them. A 10-15 party would eventually make the public a lot more open to a no-party systems. If a lot of voters got confused then there would be less people voting and less people could figure it out, limiting the power people have over the country.[/QUOTE] With ten parties, a party would only need 11% of the vote of the population to win a presidency.

A system with a large amount of disparte parties would be a bad thing. The large amount of belief systems (in everything, not just religion) with equal power would almost permanently stall descicions and lead to political alliances being made (e.g. in the UK people were urged to vote for Liberal Democrat (a very bad part people would normally not vote for) to try and keep the Tories (Center to conservatives) out, by filling up empty seats. This is a bad thing.
