Well verzuiling and the current multi-party system in dutch politics are two very different things. But that is something for another discussion.
Eventhough we often have a very long period after election untill a few parties made a coalition I vastly prefer our system over the quasi two party systems such as in the USA and UK.
Americans love the illusion of choice.
