Businesses will vote in their best interests. Both Ballmer and Gates grew up in upper or wealthy middle class. They've always voted Republican.

The third party of British politics - the Liberal Democrats - are currently in power due to a coalition government, and this is under a FPTP system not a PR system, so coalitions are uncommon.

For a Presidential election a coalition doesn't make sense, but you guys do have other branches of government that could use a bit of a change.
