two parties. People can join the party closest to their beliefs. In order to get a majority for passing legislation they have to create coalitions. So maybe moderate to left coalitions will band together for unity for certain programs like universal health care. Or the extreme Rwing might want to pass some laws to privatize Social Security, but they would have to convince more moderate Rwingers and centrists that it's a good idea to get them to vote with them (unlikely) but you see how that works.
