You can, since this has been done in the UK. And, yes, individuals are limited in how much of the media they can buy up too.
You can't cure every disease, but that is no argument for not building hospitals.
...and did you get a better government as a result?
We didn't get a choice between two conservative parties.
True, you appear to have a choice between three left wing parties.
Socially, maybe, that being where the votes are. However, you will be delighted to hear that the Conservatives are still sufficiently traditional to want to cut welfare to the poor and taxes to the rich.
And yet not traditional enough to see any problem with the UK's disastrous immigration policy. The BNP exists pretty much entirely because the "conservative" party is more concerned with not being called racists than with doing what the majority of their constituents have demanding for decades.
What disaster was that?
Yes, and the Democrats are left wing enough to try to expand the welfare state and raise taxes on the rich. I was using the same criterion you were.
