The political parties are there to distract us from our systems of government; instead of focusing on the system, we focus on political parties to vote for.

Voting is our only encouraged interaction with our systems of government.

The choice between political parties fractures our nations yet further, turns our focus on each other, and away from the mechanisms of our systems of government.
