However, it is true that this episode was laser focused on American problems, but that was probably his intention. The episode was aimed specifically at the American 2012 elections, which without a doubt, are poised to be historic in their level of corruption.
I'm only judging him on his video. The video was blinkered. Many of the problems he brought up with America's two party system are not unique to two party systems, but are fundamental problems with Democracy itself.

The origins of the problems that are besetting the world right now are global in nature, and do not strictly originate in America. The solution to the problems facing America (and the world) are not rooted in America, but in the entire global political and economic system
