Anyone know of any good books on multiple political parties?

I think after this election, we may need to seriously consider the ramifications of ending the (so-called) two party system.

How many political parties should there be? What would they be?

1. that would be tough without installing a parliment/Prime Minister

type government

you would need to build coalitions to have a government

here is an interesting read tho on multiple party systems

2. Yes, and I think better representation of a wider spectrum of views. n/t

3. If you don't have instant run-off voting

You won't have more than the two parties.

It's as simple as that.
