Two party system is better than that because it keeps a tab on the power of the ruling party. Two party system is also better than a 50 party system because that means government is not wasting time in keeping all partners of the coalition happy and can concentrate on the task at hand. People ARE corrupt. So politicians WILL be corrupt. In a two party system, where the power keep rotating, politicians will actually do some good in the bid for one-upmanship. In a coalition politics like India, smaller partners will always drag the government down on petty issues. One party system is authoritarian.

Have you ever lived in USA my dear friend? Do you know what are factors, the dynamics etc go into choosing and electing a candidate? Two party system? How is that better than a one party system? Republican and Democrats are nothing but stooges of the corporate class in America. Common people in USA vote their representatives, who in turn serve the interests of their corporate masters who fund their election campaigns and basically "own" these so-called representatives of the people. First live in the country and then speak about its "democratic" credentials and not from a far away land and using your "imaginary picture" to describe a system far away. American democracy?
