The one good thing about the party system is that if Mr Work-Hard-Pay-your-Debts got as little as 30% of suffrages, it would be practically impossible to make a government without him, and he could - assuming he had a backbone, which was my first assumption in imagining him - make the central features of his program part of the program. And if he were isolated, nonetheless his position of leader of an effective opposition would do much to prssure matters in the right direction. Do you really think that not even 30% of the electorate can be convinced of commonsense?
