You know all this is worst in America, and I think it's the systems.
The rest of the British colonies used highly conservative parliaments, where parliament is diverse and consensus is needed
America's system was different, giving veto rather than encouraging consensus, focusing all power into two parties, removing the diversity
My country gets green policy by the green party gaining enough seats in parliament to makes it worth the bigger parties negotiating with them, that can't happen in a two party system
You can't have a bold party on the left because you have no room for a new, different party (that's why the conservative side changed rather that a brand new party forming)
We are protected by the more stupid ideas the greens have, as the greens must negotiate to get any of their ideas up
