Two party systems in UK and US are quite clearly broken, democracy isn't working properly
In countries with #ProportionalRepresentation democracy still appears to be working properly

Colombia and the UK have ordered the suspension of intelligence sharing with the United States, until Trump stops murdering civilians in the Caribbean.
At least 75 innocent people have been murdered. Their murders filmed and redistributed by the Trump regime as entertainment.
