The two party system (we also have it here in effect) is inherently undemocratic --- as is the "whipping" to pressure and blackmail a political parties MP's into toeing the government line. Add to that that how our elected MP's never really have to adhere to the wishes of their constituents who voted them into office in the first place - and what you have in a system that suits the establishment/ruling elite. In other words the 1%.
The quicker we in the west break, even smash to smithereens two or even three party dominance (let's face it the LibDems are as Tory lite as New Labour has been) the better. And until that time applying the word "democracy" to elective government is a misuse of a very important word and a travesty of the underlying principle.
Imo, of course.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
