Change the Two Party System
Change the two party system to Proportional Representation voting system. There politicians are elected in multi-member districts instead of single-member districts. The number of seats is proportional to the amount of its support among voters.
Why is this important?
Proportional voting increases voter choice and allows more accurate representation of the political parties in legislature. The basic approach of proportional representation is simple: If you have a 10-member district and the Republicans win 50% of the vote, they receive five of the ten seats. If the Democrats win 30% of the vote, they get three seats; and if a third party gets 20% of the vote, they win two seats. PR voting systems provide more accurate representation of third parties.
