Isn't there a motivation for the party outof power to grow and change?
A motivation that increases every year that the party is out of power?
Isn't there a tendancy for the party in power to become complacent an corrupt , attracting all of the lobbyists and bribe sorces?
In Congress the incumbant has strong advntage, which preserves his seat till the electrrate is motivated enough to ignore his better ability to campaign .
I think that the dynamic of each party takeing turns surgeing into power is a natural result of the two party sytem , and it is a beneficial one .
If there were no time out of power there would be much less motivation to purge corruption and sweep out the innefective.
In countrys that have a large number of partys this effect is much less pronounced because most governments are coalition, a party out of power can make a deal for power sharing without any need for reform.
In one party states of course cleaning up the party is never seen as being nessacery except to reduce the internal opposition to the individuals on the top.
Two might just be the ideal number of partys.
