No it is way much better to have only two to choose between than a variety of options 🙄

Lost you there, buddy.

ok Texas says he will never use the word parliament , referring to the US political system that have no parliament. I just responded to the difference between the US system and that of having a parliament.

Yep, the parlimentary system of 200 years ago was vastly different to the one of today.

In fact, I think the parliments of modern day England, Scotland and Wales share many parallels with the Congress.

Amazing how we still ended up in basically the same position..... 😉

talking abot the sex scandals? 🤣

But the US HAVE a parliament, they just call it differently: House of Representatives. Parliament is shorter. 😄

Still made up of only two parties though.

The number doesn't matter, does it? I mean, England has only Labour and the Tories (unless I missed one). And they call it parliament as well.

Don't forget we do have Independents besides the Democrats and Republicans.

Luckily you said that!

Yeah tjose independant make huge impacts. This years election in Norway ended in confussion 4 parties within striking distance. I guess it s gonna be a coalation of the conservatives that maike up the government.

What are the four parties?

Which partie wears those precious, little furry, horn hats? 😛 😉

Well at least its not an elephant and a donkey.
Actually there were 5 parties within range

The parties are the Norwegian Labour Party (24%), is social democratic in the Nordic manner. This means that the party has been a staunch advocate of the welfare state and champions social rights for all with respect to education, old age pensions and other social benefits. At the same time the party has been a strong advocate of NATO, and has espoused Norwegian membership of the European Union on several occasions.

To its left stands the Socialist Left Party (SV)(14%), this too firmly rooted in social-democratic tradition. Compared to the Labour Party, SV places greater emphasis on the government’s responsibility for ensuring the health and welfare of the people and it has pursued an alternative security policy.

The main conservative party in Norway, the Conservatives (21,5%)is moderate by European standards. This party is traditionally perceived as the opposite of the Labour Party, particularly in economic policy.

In between the Conservatives and the Labour Party we have the Christian Democrats(12%) together with the Conservatives they must all be regarded as defenders of the modern welfare state, although they part company with the Labour Party and Socialist Left Party in that they, to varying degrees, are more open to private solutions and want less government control.

The Progress Party(15%) is generally regarded as standing to the right of the Conservatives, with a liberalistic platform firmly opposed to state control and taxation. This is the party that goes the furthest in opposing government involvement.

Wow, your very knowledgeable about politics Finti. I dont even know who my representative is, no, yes I do, Dick Armey.! See, I'm political and stuff too! 😄
