Two choices is not complete control
Two choices is not complete control
What? Not all positions are elected, in no system. Or when did you vote for secretary of state in the US?
The prime minister of France is not an elected position but appointed by the president. This has nothing to do with multiparty democracy.
Counter examples exist. Willy Brandt was social-democratic German chancellor in a coalition with the liberals while the conservatives were the biggest party in parliament. The conservatives could only watch.
Also recent state elections in Thuringia, the fascist AfD is the biggest party but nobody wants to work with them, so they don’t get a chance to form a government.
What’s important in both cases: the majority of voters want it that way. They wanted a social-democratic+liberal government under Willy Brandt and there is a clear majority in Thuringia that don’t want the AfD to govern. In both cases it’s more democratic to not let the biggest party govern.
In a two party system the power balance within the coalition is decided behind closed doors and the voters have no say in it
As long as the coalition represents the majority, I don’t see why the largest party needs to be part of the government. The largest party doesn’t represent the will of the people by itself, otherwise they would have a majority.
Lol, sure it does
