The problem is choice

"Choice, the problem is choice."

Inspired by the recent announcement about a federal election (in Canada), and a healthy conversation with a friend, here's a simplistic (but accurate) analogy of how I see most political systems (I.e. Democracies) in our world:

A political democracy is like a cafeteria. In a cafeteria, you have multiple vendors trying to get you to buy their entres. In a 'democracy', you also have multiple parties vying to get you vote.
