What multi-party system has been any more or less successful at answering the public's concerns? I ask, because I haven't done any serious research, and figure someone might know already. In my opinion, it is very much of a case where gov't simply has gotten too big/unaccountable. In that case a multiparty system doesn't seem to answer many of my basic problems, because they simply squabble and point fingers more than what we already have. I do know, that many multiparty systems simply abandon a govt structure when one thinks it has gained an advantage.
My mind simply goes back to DeTocqueville's famous quote:
Quote:
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
Alexis de Tocqueville

He was as prescient in that as Jules Verne was about the Kennedy Space Center
