More kids should do mock Congress in high school so they get a feel for the way political cliques really do business. The #FirstPastThePost political system forces the kind of political parties that actually keep a lid on extremist members since they know they have to do business in more than a one-cycle parliamentary alliance. When your voting block is pre-labelled for the voters you do a lot more necktie-grabbing in private & internal horse trading. Platforms that feed #ClosedSilo perception make the dangerous fringe think they don't have to caucus, which leads to them becoming loud decoys; #ControlledOpposition instead of what disappears with the next flush.
