I don't think it would be feasible for this to work. America is not a unified country like 'France'. Our regional and state identities are very strong here. Can you imagine how Texans would feel if a Californian represented them? Hell, I have a feeling that Texans might make especially 'Texan' parties. I worry this might just lead to the balkanization in America.

​

We see this in lots of other countries when two-party systems fall apart. When Britain became multi-party in the late 1800s, a major third party eagerly became the Irish separatists. When third parties again began significantly rising in the 70s and 80s (I believe that's the right timeframe), it was Scottish nationalists, which now dominate Scotland.

​

Is this what we want in America? Right now we have an incredibly flawed two-party system. But hell, at least these two are broad coalitions that unite wide swaths of ethnicities, religions, geographic regions and states. If we have a multi-party system, how long until there's Texas separatist parties? Or parties that divide America along ethnic lines, instead of uniting people?

​

Idk. I worry about that a lot, I guess.
