Doing this would effectively weaken the two party system because it would be easier for people with a specific agenda like environment, balanced budget, or abortion to get elected. It would make it easier to get the government to work because creating temporary coalitions over various legislation would be easier. It also means people would feel like their vote is being counted.

Their is no reason to do it the way we do now other than to establish a two party system. That two party system is the cause of all kinds of rancor and it makes it easier for the corporate oligarchy's an opportunity to control our govt.

The two party system is just a tag-team.
