I liked it. I think the best argument one can make for more parties in the system is that it dilutes the concentration of power, which reduces the ability of any one party being able to mandate over the other. It also encourages interesting alliances and ideas since representative voting power would be reduced significantly. Gridlock is a given when people clash, but I don't think it would be as bad as it is right now if a third, fourth, etc., party commanded enough seats.

Define irony: Republicans and Democrats talking about the wonders of free markets while running a duopoly.
