    the electoral college and a federal government made up of the states rather than of the people along with simple plurality voting sometimes and majority voting others are, mathematically, the least power you can give people while still issuing a ballot. a binary party system is just a unitary party system where the final votes for the party leadership is more visible.

      I like to use a common quote from data archivists: Two is one and one is none.

      The more people your system represents the better. Two party systems are an illusion of choice and single party system offer you no choice.
