Poll: Are countries with a two-party system better off than countries that have 3
or more main parties? The reason I ask is because I'm from the Dominican Republic and we are experiencing something that could result in a system similar to the Republican and Democratic two-party system of the United States. We have had 3 main parties for a long time. The PRD, PLD and PRSC. The PRD is a center-left social democratic party, the PLD used to be a center-left party that has gravitated towards a center-right platform in the last decade, and the PRSC is a conservative populist party that is losing a lot of support so now many experts say it will be absorbed by the PLD. I think that the PRSC will disintegrate and we'll be left with 2 parties. Countries with 2 main parties...one center-left and the other center-right tend to be the most stable democracies. The U.S. is a good example of that. So do you think that this is a good thing for the Dominican Republic and its development?
