61. seems like democracy in the US
There are small parties but they have to be aproved by corporate money so they have no change to win elections, for more than 200 hundred years there have been only two parties in charge of government and I guess that those two parties are the ones who supervise the elections. Now to challenge those parties someone has to be able to spend 20 millions or more from their own packet like Ross Perot, it would be imposible for a citizen without money to be president then the media is in bed with those parties, having dedicated talk shows to spread their ideology.

God there are too many similarities between those two democracies.
