Numerous countries in Europe have spent the last ~50 years as rumbling political disasters while having dozens of political parties. See: Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal and a lot of others.<p>I&#x27;ve seen absolutely no evidence, anywhere on earth, that throwing more political parties at a problem solves the problem. If your culture is dysfunctional, no amount of political parties will save you.<p>For example in Europe you end up with the worst kind of extremists directly involved in running government, or others that get very near to doing so. Such as (supposedly former) neo-nazi parties as in Sweden or France, or literal neo-nazis as in Greece.<p>I would argue that the two party system in the US has provided dramatically greater stability than the numerous party systems in Europe, while keeping nearly all fascist, socialist and communist nuts out of the government. It leads to less dynamism, but far greater stability and less radicalism than what you see across Europe.
