Yeah I’ve never really bought into the whole ‘but they’re the only stable choice’ argument as that’s the exact thinking that leads you to a two-party system. Multiparty rule is far better than majority rule in my opinion as it represents far more discrete circumstances simultaneously. Personally I’m in favour of scrapping parties altogether, but that’s a far deeper rabbit hole.
The problem with political parties is that they end up being a better strategy in terms of game theory than not having parties. Even when actions are taken to get rid of political parties, they naturally form in the matter of coordinating political power across different people.
