As much as we despise them, political parties do serve a purpose. Cutting down on the number of candidates, and giving a general idea on each candidate's stance on issues.
I despise myself for saying all of that.

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree as well - they do make things more efficient though not necessarily better.
I don't like parties either but I think they are inevitable in a society with varying opinions and views.
And in a way the system has kept compromise and balance alive in the country despite the rhetoric.
It's mainly the fact it seems like a war between groups that has really made it worse to even want to be a part of a party.
