Pay attention to recent history: remember the crybabies whining that Winner X didn't get the majority of the vote, therefore Winner X has no "mandate" to run his county/state/country/whatever. With 3 or more parties, it is unlikely you will ever get close to a majority for the winner, and most likely the MAJORITY did not vote for the winner so you have more pissed off people than ever. Then we would have people screaming for change - AGAIN.

Sit back and watch the people who think the electoral system is obsolete. Every one of them backed a loser so now they want to change the rules. Look up the word "disenfranchise". It is not even a word. It was created in 2000 in Florida. It is codespeak for "my guy lost and I am a whiner".
