Let's take a look at your argument so far.
You began by accusing CV&D of "myopically focussing on the
parliamentary form (with prop rep) as the 'only' way to get rid of the two
party system...."
I responded:

Now you have changed your attack to saying that CV&D is de facto supporting
"the parliamentary form" because it concentrates "so heavily on prop rep for
legislatures." Once again, let me point out that a parliamentary form of
government is not synonymous with proportional representation. See for
example, Great Britain, Canada, and (until the election this month) New
Zealand.
