I don't really see the parallel you are making.

    In some countries you can even have coalition governments. Imagine a parliament made of at least 5 parties.

    Imagine a Parliament of Independents because parties are no longer allowed and all members of Government are elected on their own personal platforms and ideas.

    Parties fail the democratic process.

    Well that’s an interesting thought. Care to elaborate how parties fail? Is the whole idea of parties rotten, or just the application of it?

    Parties fail because in order to be a member of the party you must believe in the parties ideas and policies, which in turn leads to a homogenization of ideas. Over time those ideas get more entrenched on the different sides, leading to less collaboration over time and more extreme and divided rhetoric that benefits no one.

    I would say that the entire idea is rotten because of that.
