The recent UK polls are killing me, because despite the surge in labor, the fact that UKIPers are now voting Tory and their districts are first-past-the-post means that the Tories are likely going to win. (Labor, the libdems and the SNP together get >50% of the vote in some polls.)

It’s a good idea if you have an electoral system set up to support it properly. If we had a proper system we could have a Trump party separate from the republicans and a Bernie party separate from the dems. Then maybe people would be a little less insane because they’d have parties that represent them.
I would actually like for both the Bernie and Trump parties to exist, since they might actually do something about the trade balance and conditions for American workers, tbh. I wonder if they might have less regulatory capture, too, but I’d have to check that against foreign countries where multiple parties are the norm.
