Although in the US, there is a clear 2-party system, it is transparent what each party represents and the people can decide which set of policies they favour at this present moment.

In theory, the system should be as transparent as clean glass. In reality, it is anything but. The influence of the lobbyists and corporate bigwigs totally distorts what is supposed to be fair representation. While lobbying itself has to be transparent and there are rules governing the process, in reality, the general public is clueless as to what goes on behind the scenes because of the complexity of the system.
