A move to a European-style multiparty system is not the
answer, since this would create a structure where the winner still runs the
whole government but is usually a lot more extreme than moderate.
Ideally,
America could adopt a non-partisan model like that suggested by many of the
American framers.
The Constitution is actually designed for a nonparty system.
In the absence of a major shift to a nonpartisan model, the
best reform to our system would be for more American citizens to ignore party
spin and think independently--and openly listen to and learn from others who do
the same, even if they disagree with your ideas.
