The price of gas in America

[A Black Falcon]

George Washington, and many of the other Founding Fathers, were very critical of the two-party idea. Honestly, it's doing no good for us today.

... while also setting the groundwork, from the very beginning, for the very liberal/conservative two-party system we still use today. :)

On that same token, it's practically impossible for a single-party system in a truly open government like ours, because human nature is to disagree.

As said, a one party state in a democracy isn't a democracy... what exactly you call it depends on the country (for instance, Japan. Is it a democracy? Well, they have free and fair elections... but one party has controlled the nation for around 49 of the last 50 years, and the population as a whole doesn't quite understand competitive elections based on differing views on issues (on the latter point things are improving, maybe (that is, on having the elections actually be about positions on issues, and having parties actually have to have platforms, instead of just being about which party gets more bridges for your local district...), but not on the 'who is in control' point...). Is this really a democracy? Maybe not quite... but it's also certainly not totalitarian, or a dictatorship, or anything like that.). But yes, in this country, it's extremely unlikely and, I would definitely say, unwanted. Maybe it would be better to have a Europe-style system where small parties can actually matter, though, because that'd increase popular input in government and force parties to work together more often... but one party? No. Bad idea.
