the twenty four hour news cycle paints a different picture
- 00:24
there are in fact other countries out there besides the
- 00:26
united states Seriously look it up We're not kidding Do
- 00:30
most other countries they also have a two party system
- 00:33
the famed two party system We'll even though our founders
- 00:36
envisioned a government free of political parties that's kind of
- 00:39
dull right of the united states has had an occasionally
- 00:42
evolving two party system since the early eighteen hundreds which
- 00:45
kicked off the festivities with the democratic republicans and the
- 00:49
federalists smackdown between those two but that's not the case
- 00:53
for the rest of the world So let's keep that
- 00:54
globe roland do most other countries see not allow political
- 00:58
parties Well there are certainly a handful of nations like
- 01:01
saudi arabia in which political parties are totally band We're
- 01:04
not sure if birthday parties were also treated that way
- 01:07
But hopefully they at least get some cake Well there
- 01:09
you go again with the cake to most other countries
- 01:11
D like parties but not politics Well sure everyone loves
- 01:15
a good party but how could people across the globe
- 01:18
not like politics even though they might be misguided at
- 01:20
times politicians are important Making things run smooth is possible
- 01:26
Could most other countries have e a government party Well
- 01:29
if it's in the budget sure but good luck getting
- 01:31
taxpayers to fund your government mandated fun in the sun
- 01:35
So if we get rid of e that means most
- 01:37
other countries have be multiparty systems exact immune to other
- 01:41
countries air more likely to have either to big parties
- 01:44
and several smaller parties that still get seats in parliament
- 01:48
like britain or whole bunch of parties that must combine
- 01:51
in a coalition in order to get something done That's
- 01:54
what happens in israel So that makes me the correct
- 01:57
answer The us two party system has been around in
- 01:59
some form for over two hundred years And even though
- 02:02
smaller groups have tried to break in it seems like
- 02:04
a long to khun play it The american political game 00:02:09.18 --> [endTime] Ah
