What's wrong with multi-party system         


Author: ltlee1

In his NYTimes column article with the title of "Who Will Tell the
People?", Thomas Friedman explained the decline of American power,

"[we are] not as powerful as we used to be because over the past three
decades, the Asian values of our parents’ generation — work hard,
study, save, invest, live within your means — have given way to
subprime values: “You can have the American dream — a house — with no
money down and no payments for two years.”"

The following also caught my attention.

"Much nonsense has been written about how Hillary Clinton is
“toughening up” Barack Obama so he’ll be tough enough to withstand
Republican attacks. Sorry, we don’t need a president who is tough
enough to withstand the lies of his opponents. We need a president who
is tough enough to tell the truth to the American people. Any one of
the candidates can answer the Red Phone at 3 a.m. in the White House
bedroom. I’m voting for the one who can talk straight to the American
people on national TV — at 8 p.m. — from the White House East Room."

A multi-party system allows the existence of mavericks like John "Big
Mac" McCain. A single-party system and collective dictatorship does
not allow for mavericks. Proof: Name one maverick in the CCP.
