When my side wins, democracy is healthy and vibrant. When the other side wins, it's faltering and corrupt.

Looking from outside, it honestly doesn't seem that's what's going on. Here in the Netherlands we have proportional representation, and while our democratic system does show signs of decay, it still feels way more healthier than the British one. Here we have 20 parties to choose from, which always leads to coalitions and compromises. Having to keep deciding between only two would feel incredibly constrained to me.

And I say this as someone who keeps voting, unsuccessfully, against our incumbent PM.
