	I'm not talking about multiple votes in the election. I'm talking
	about voting for multiple parties. Thus, just maybe, increasing
	the likelihood that one has a reasonable candidate to vote for.

	Where? On election day, he gets to vote for one candidate. Before
	election day, what business is it of the government how parties
	pick their candidates?

	I've never seen anything like this incestuous relation between
	government and political parties before I came to the states.

	In Australia anyone who can qualify can get on the ballot, and
	the bigger parties usually have several candidates. It doesn't
	seem to have caused the breakdown of the government yet.
