This sounds like a great idea!

It says much about the Netherlands in 1919. Verzuiling was and is a horrible idea. As much as I dislike the US party system, it at least forces one to compromise between bad and worse.

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.
