This is interesting. There are a lot more political ideologies that I wasn't aware of. I am familiar with the US two party system, but the one in the Philippines seems to be a mix of a lot of different things. We do have a kind of party system, but their platforms and ideologies differ per candidate, and the party doesn't really have anything concrete.

It's good that different candidates have different opinions. It gives the voters more choice. They have a better chance of electing someone who represents their own opinions. In the West, politicians are forced to push party ideology. If there are just two parties, then we have only two dominant ideologies. What makes it worse is that the ideologies of the two main parties are similar. The politicians that do not push the party line are suppressed.
Yeah, I noticed that too. My sisters are in the US, so I tend to get interested by their politics from time to time. It is interesting how the party suppresses their candidate's ideologies when they stray a bit far from what they want.
