In a different system where you've got multiple parties and there's the "20% of GDP goes to welfare, we're meh on cannabis, duh on gay rights, our top priority is unions and workers rights and our second priority is environmental protection" party and there's the "25% GDP to welfare, we're meh on unions and workers rights, duh on the environment, top priority is gay rights and second priority is education" a couple made of one member of each of those two parties will probably work, because those two parties likely unite against the "20% of GDP goes to kicking the poor in the stomach, we're death to the environment and death to workers, our top priority is making the rich richer and our second priority is war in the middle east" party.
