Comment on Fix the two-party system with proportional representationparent

Comments

Here in Argentina, we have a proportional system inside each province. At the national level we have an indefinite number of parties, but as a simplification, we have

* the 2 extremes: far-right, far-left

* the 2 biggest one: Milei and Cristina

* Like 3 small/medium in the middle

So you can select something in between. They work as informal alliances, so the parties in the middle most of the time align with one of the big ones, but they may switch in particular cases.

It makes it harder for the big parties to do very stupid things, but they can manage to do stupid things anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
