So.......many..............parties

Of course, but a lot of them only get a few dozen or hundred votes and don't matter, really the only ones who get anywhere are the ones I put in the poll.

We wont want to live in a limited two party system, or have some stupid system where a party has to get a court to say it can run. So as long as a party can afford a fee and list enough members (I think its 50) to fill cabinate positions should they win, they can run.

Plus, this isn't counting any Independents, where someone runs of MP by themselves without any party. A lot of the time they are more preferable to some, and a number to get elected ever year.

Plus we also have two a few joke parties like the Natural Law Party who believe in legalising flying (although they take themselves insanely seriously) and the Official Monster Raving Loony Party... who stand for nothing really

Joke is, we had some guy a few years back run for a local council election dressed in a donkey outfit as a protest vote.... and he won

I agree...in fact, I consider the US election system extremely undemocratic

1. i just think that the SSP are  a bunch of mindless twats who whinge about everything and "claim" to be socialists.

2. SNP i think theyre just such a slimy bunch and  i dont think their scotland is viable.
