Actually, Captain, the best thing for a true democracy is to eliminate political parties. Well, Rousseau explained the reasons for such thing in The Social Contract.
Alternate voting system? Well, Rousseau said democracy was only to be applied in small states, but this problem was solved by the idea of the soviets system, or so I believe it is called, a system I believe that- once gone through some modifications- could in fact serve as democracy, or at least far more democratical than the current one.
But modern democracy? A system where parties seek to idiotize the citizen to make them vote a party? A system where good marketing is one of the main gears in the change of goverment system? No, thanks.
