editing .. ForReal, before Citizen's United (Matrix999's i saw too late to edit into mine), is another contributing to your hate. Right,
yet before campaign financing became such a problem you didn't have your desired multi-party either. Or did i miss it?

If you wanted to do the best you could to get to your goal you would have to, at least go to some form of preferential voting system.

Here's one of a number on the board

The U.S. Should Require All Citizens to Vote
[...[
Why would increasing turnout make a difference? It is not that high turnout is a surefire indicator of civic health and democratic values -- the former Soviet Union, after all, boasted 98 percent turnouts. The greater impact is on the culture of politicians. Australian politicians of all stripes say that knowing both parties' bases will certainly vote motivates them to focus on those persuadable voters in the middle. They do not emphasize the kinds of wedge issues like guns, gays, or abortion that dominate American discourse. Instead, politicians focus on the bigger questions -- like the economy, jobs, and education -- that drive the voters in the middle, and they avoid the kind of vicious or vitriolic campaign rhetoric that turns off the persuadable voters.

[Well, sometimes,relatively, perhaps]

Australia has another feature that is highly attractive and desirable: preference voting, where voters rank-order candidates from most preferred to least. Such a system prevents minor parties or independent candidates from acting as spoilers -- a la Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan in 2000 -- but still allows voters whose first options don't prevail to influence the outcome via their second and third choices. This makes for more honest choices and broader coalitions.
