The Founding Fathers didn't want political parties, so they set up a
system that assumed there would be none. Parties developed
nonetheless, and the way our votes are counted ensures that we will
have a two party system.

However, without re-writing the constitution, we could have a better
system by adopting instant run-off voting. For more information go to
