Maradön? spewed forth this undeniable truth:
In a partyless system a candidate who believed in something would still be supported by others who held that belief. The only thing that would be missing is the meaningless and often unfair party label and the obligation to comply with beliefs that your party imposes on you.
DEAD WRONG.
Anyone knows that without a party system, the percentage of the voters that matter would vote for whoever promised them more moneyz or looked the best. You wouldn't have these things called 'beliefs' and 'issues'. It would be 'money' and 'looking goodness'.

Pretty much. Except people vote for parties instead of those things mentioned in my previous post. It's a little better. :P

We don't have enough people like Bloodsage.
The problem today is that the media and parties didn't try to make an informed electorate; they just pandered to the lowest common denominator.
