The Netherlands has a multiparty system.Abolish the two-party system and allow a bunch of parties that share different brands of ideology of each part of the political spectrum to have a fair play
To give a quick summary, people elect parties on a national level. when voting for a party, they can give prefference to specific representatives of that party. It's up to discretion of that party what to do with that.
The vote percentage of each party decides how many seats in parliament every party gets. We currently have 13 parties with seats. After the election a government is formed by having a coalition between parties that form a majority.
In practice every person in a seat can vote how they want and can after the election break off from their party and form a new one and this happens every couple of years, usually with no success. One of the largest parties was formed that way in the last decade.
There are numerous advantages and disadvantages compared to the american system. One advantage is the transparancy. We now have a party that for all intents and purposes is the Turkish party. They get about 2.1% of the vote. I also calculated the percentage of Turkish voters. It's about 2.3%.
Of course it doesn't mean that only Turkish people voted for them, btw.
Having greater granularity gives more perspective in what things people vote for.
Of course there is no shortage of establishment of power in Dutch politics either, with a couple of parties dominating and doing Brussel's bidding.
My point is that simply breaking up a two party system into a functional multiparty system wouldn't solve your problems. But it would make more visible the various political groups supporting the different parties. The muslim feminist alliance is one of temporary convenience on having the same enemy. Eventually there will be fallout and conflict, which is what mass immigration is sowing. There'll be right wing immigrants, but they'll be right wing for their people, which means they'll be left wing until they have enough power to carve out a slice of that manifest destiny for themselves. It will take longer because US politics is stronger and more powerful, but it will happen and in our lifetimes.
