Hillary Clinton and Strange Bedfellows

American parties: The "big tent" factor of both American parties and the constraints of the "winner-take-all" presidency makes for some particularly strange bedfellows, according to Huffington Post Canada. But is the two-party system under attack this election cycle It certainly seems so -- and it could well be to Secretary Hillary Clinton advantage. It is amusing, even confusing, for someone schooled in the Westminster political system to view how Americans go about labelling their politicians and dividing up their party loyalty. They just have to show up on the same day and vote Republican." How relevant these words seem today in the age of Donald Trump. In other Western democracies, there are essentially three, maybe four, major camps corresponding to three or more parties. Stranger still is how he is simultaneously called a "socialist" and a "liberal," because in most democracies, these are two distinct labels for two distinct parties and ideologies. In particular, it odd to see Senator Bernie Sanders -- who has sat in congress for decades as an independent -- challenging for the leadership of a party he only just recently joined.
