> In the majority of the world, there arent 'party lines'. There are party PROGRAMS

Party lines still exist in multi-party systems. Some parties are known to never deliver. Other parties are tiny and won’t ever make it to parliament. There’s next to no chance to find a party which program looks entirely fine AND you can trust the party to deliver. In the end, you just vote along for least worst option. Or strategically against something.

Ideologies exist. Not 'lines'.

No party which consistently does not deliver gets elected in a proportional representation system.

10 or more parties in a parliament are enough.

Sorry. Thats just nonsense.

You are literally projecting the Angloamerican system to entire world and claiming that is the norm. It isn't. That's one mistake of the people who live in such FPTP systems. Thinking that 'everywhere is the same'.
