I'm for parliamentary systems, similar to those in Europe. Everybody has a chance to have a voice at the table, and viewpoints are far more diverse and nuanced than in this two party system here. Plus, it is usually necessary to form coalitions to have a majority, so that means negotiation and compromise. The US would greatly benefit from a more equitable system.

Federalism could take hold once again if and when the majority of society wake up and realize what criminal organizations the Democrats and Republicans are, and how this country has spiraled downward since they took over and pushed out any other political parties.

I do not believe proportional representation fits into a democratic republic. I believe there is a better way to unsure equal representation. The popular vote works well at the state, county and city levels of government in the United States. We need to abolish the electoral college, too many candidates focus only on areas of the electorate they need to win the college. Bush and Trump both won because of this despite the popular vote totals.

I think first we need to fix the congressional districting. Independent committees with judicial review are needed to ensure no partisan tampering occurs.

Next we need to address campaign finance law. Abolish Citizens United and any non-individual campaign donations. Cap individual donations at $1000.00 each.

One other area of concern should be lobbying. Anyone elected should not be allowed to turn around and become a lobbyist. They need to serve their term then return home and work like the rest of us.

Bring it on, the sooner the better.

It would change it, in some ways better, in some worse. I would love to find a perfect solution. Sadly, those entrenched in the status quo would never enable it.

I think this is a good idea. Our winner take all system ensures that the two major parties (controlled by special interests) keep a lock on our system. Proportional representation ensures that minorities have a voice at the table.

Would that not be a more parlimentary system? I think that would be better than were we are going now. I think the bigger issue is corporate mnoney and the very wealthy. We campaign WAY too long. Limit funding and time - 9 months before an election candidates can start sollicity funds and campaigning. Course the term campaigning will need to be narrowly defined.

I wish we had proportional representation here in UK. yes I think it would at least be a different political shape
