A two party system is no good at all, look at the US. Voters need a multi party system, different views and different platforms, however, raise the threshold. To leave it at the status quo, you end up being represented with the platform of those small insignificant parties who hold the balance of power. The major parties have to concede to them to get into power, however, the voters voted for the platform of the major parties. For example, look at Dacic. Taken alone he's insignificant, however, he brought the DS into power, in exchange for making him a minister. What makes matters worst is that if his party betrays the coalition on a vote regarding an issue for which the major party campaigned on, the voters will not get represented because they are being held hostage by those insignificant parties. Raise the threshold to 20%!!!
