Our founding fathers thought that by putting actual people on the ballot instead of parties, that we could avoid the plague of partisan politics.
Unfortunately they were wrong.
Personally, I think a parliamentary system is much better and much more democratic than the American system.
For instance, if this were a parliamentary government George Bush would have been tossed a long time ago. In our system, he gets to run out the clock and we're stuck in a crisis without a credible leader who can take action.
