(75,480 posts)without the parliament. We could have multiple parties and each party with a certain amount of members could elect a representative for each. For instance you could have a representative for each million members. Only the top in membership let's say of eleven parties would have elected representatives sent to Washington. Fringe parties with few members wouldn't be acknowledged until they build up their followers to a competitive number. So when they get to Washington they have to form coalitions on legislation. For instance let's say the ERA comes up. So they need to reach out to the parties nearest them in ideology to come up with a vote. I know it seems complicated, but it would give all political ideologies a voice. However, there still would need to be a majority in favor to pass legislation. I made the number of parties eleven to avoid ties. It's just a brain fart right now.
