What type of government is this?

Question

There are 5 different parties and they cannot agree.

Answer 1

Italy! lol

..Italy has like 10 political parties, so when a Prime minister is elected the guy usually only receives like 23% of the popular vote because the votes are so widespread through so many different candidates.

Answer 2

We are a Republic, a  representative Democracy.

We are in this morass because many of our Congressional delegates and our Executive Branch are far more interested in getting re-elected than in doing the work we elected them to do.  They worry that if they offend a group that helped them attain their positions, because of campaigning or financial support,  they will lose next time around.  

Another factor is a policy of continual combativeness espoused by the current VP that has escalated  bad will to an extreme today.  In my mind.it has never been this bad during the 46 years that I have been voting, or for the ten years before while I was addicted to politics..
