I'd always rather the greater than 50% coalition have control than the less than 50% coalition. Just look at it from a numbers standpoint. If the vote is to "kill the other team" giving which group power does the least harm? The Majority. And just because that vote can happen isn't a mark against the system. The three other forms of government you mentioned are all equally capable of that atrocity. |

If you ignore the psychological disadvantage of the killers having a monopoly on 'legitimate' violence. For instance, in some anarchistic type scenario there is at least the upper hand that everyone understands the aggression of others is not granted some philisophical legitimacy over their own, and people frustrating these efforts will know their defensive efforts are not philisophically disadvantaged. Moral is an important component of self defense. It is easier to push many people in the cattle car if they think a legitimate 'authority' of the government has spoken.
