That is all this is. It is odd with only 4 parties but it's not without precedent.

So now we're down to trotting out governments halfway around the world, socialist Sweden, and Israel of all places, to hold up as models of favourable potential outcomes and to justify what's happening in this country, something that hasn't happened here, since WWI??
In any of those "worldly situations" that we should all be in awe of, I wonder if the various participants in those coalitions include a faction that wants to split the country up?
