It doesn't seem that way does it? 
Well, part of the problem is I suspect that USA citizens have a different
political perspective. Politics isn't, as many claim, divided into left
and right but when account is taken of the extremes is actually a circle.
Having only two parties of any size means that they have to span entire
parts of the circle. It just seems that you divide the circle in a different
place.
