Uma postagem no Facebook de um suposto professor me chamou
atenção ao culpar o excesso de partidos pelo caos político que domina do
Brasil. Dizia ele:
“A quantidade de partidos no Brasil é um absurdo. Não tem
sentido, não encontra semelhança em qualquer outra nação, é uma inutilidade
ideológica, pragmática e social. Não apresenta qualquer benefício ou ajuda ao
Brasil. Pelo contrário, estressa a população, confunde os ingênuos, inviabiliza
o voto ético, assegura a falsidade de propósitos, sustenta a impunidade dos
corruptos e alimenta a formação de canalhas e calhordas dependentes do suborno
e da propina. A média mundial fica ao redor de 10 partidos por nação.”
Logo depois desse parágrafo ele publicou uma lista de países
- com a respectiva quantidade de partidos - encabeçada pelos Estados Unidos com
apenas dois partidos. Ledo engano. A maior democracia do mundo tem 144
partidos! Só partidos “verdes” há 52!
A diferença é que lá, o partido que não pode se sustentar
sozinho, sem mesada do governo, vai pro saco.
Aliás, só para lembrar, nas últimas eleições presidenciais
nos EUA, não foram só Trump, com 60.261.924 (47,30%), e Hillary, com 60.828.358
(47,75%), que receberam votos para presidente dos Estados Unidos. Gary Johnson
(Libertarian), Jill Stein (Green), Evan McMullin (independente) e Darrell
Castle (Constitution) tiveram 4.151.138 (3,26%), 1.249.970 (0,98%), 437.783
(0,34%) e 180.632 (0,14%) votos respectivamente e, além destes, houve centenas
de outros candidatos (vide http://www.politics1.com/p2016.htm).
