RE: True democracy in this day and age was always meant to be a balance between conservatism and liberalism.

Right on. I envy most major European countries on a representative front for that reason. Here in the US, 2 parties have taken a "death grip" of sorts on US democracy, and it's getting out of hand. =(

Don't worry mate, it does not matter if you have 2 or 5 parties. They will all get corrupted eventually. The idea of politics being a compromise between several opposing camps, is the root of all evil. If we can get rid of parties and replace them with individuals that are not bound by those "voting pacts", parlamentarism might succeed.
