When I become king, I'd make darn sure that there were more than two political parties to avoid the lurch to the other side when said side trounces the other after an election. I'm pretty much a centrist, and it forces me to be independent and to quite often hold my nose when I cast a ballot for the lesser of two evils. Fringe parties just don't do it for me.

I've lived through and seen plenty of examples of alliances and government coalitions of multiple parties working together for better results. They have to, or a coalition will fall apart and a new election is called.

On the other hand, look at Italy. They have a fresh election, what, every couple of months because they have so many parties? A happy medium would be perfect. Maybe four to six parties.
