Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

Brought to you by government parties They're not always as

00:08

fun as they sound Unless someone brings a cake way

00:12

Do like a good all right Most other countries What

00:15

And here the potential answers party system All right though

00:22

the twenty four hour news cycle paints a different picture

00:24

there are in fact other countries out there besides the

00:26

united states Seriously look it up We're not kidding Do

00:30

most other countries they also have a two party system

00:33

the famed two party system We'll even though our founders

00:36

envisioned a government free of political parties that's kind of

00:39

dull right of the united states has had an occasionally

00:42

evolving two party system since the early eighteen hundreds which

00:45

kicked off the festivities with the democratic republicans and the

00:49

federalists smackdown between those two but that's not the case

00:53

for the rest of the world So let's keep that

00:54

globe roland do most other countries see not allow political

00:58

parties Well there are certainly a handful of nations like

01:01

saudi arabia in which political parties are totally band We're

01:04

not sure if birthday parties were also treated that way

01:07

But hopefully they at least get some cake Well there

01:09

you go again with the cake to most other countries

01:11

D like parties but not politics Well sure everyone loves

01:15

a good party but how could people across the globe

01:18

not like politics even though they might be misguided at

01:20

times politicians are important Making things run smooth is possible

01:26

Could most other countries have e a government party Well

01:29

if it's in the budget sure but good luck getting

01:31

taxpayers to fund your government mandated fun in the sun

01:35

So if we get rid of e that means most

01:37

other countries have be multiparty systems exact immune to other

01:41

countries air more likely to have either to big parties

01:44

and several smaller parties that still get seats in parliament

01:48

like britain or whole bunch of parties that must combine

01:51

in a coalition in order to get something done That's

01:54

what happens in israel So that makes me the correct

01:57

answer The us two party system has been around in

01:59

some form for over two hundred years And even though

02:02

smaller groups have tried to break in it seems like

02:04

a long to khun play it The american political game 00:02:09.18 --> [endTime] Ah
