That all depends on what you mean by "effective." A one party system would get things done, because there would be no opposition party to debate or block legislation. So if you want laws passed quickly, sure a one party system would be more effective.
On the other hand, without an opposition, who will stand up to bad legislation? Who will give voice to the alternative views? If you think being effective means that the government is fair and balanced, then you probably want at least 2 parties around.

How about a no-party system? Leave the big bucks out of the campaign and everyone stands on his own beliefs and convictions.
Start at the local level; a letter to the newspaper. If it's well-received by the public move on to local debates. Well-received? How about regional debates? Let the public decide who they want to see running for office, not some electoral college that hasn't a clue what the local problems are or who may be bought.

in effect that is what we have now. How do you think that is working. There are no checks and balances as the founders intended when they wrote the constitution when you have a one party system. It is important to keep an opposition to balance the legislation. Remember the best legislation comes from compromise, that is something that is sorely lacking at the moment but will hopefully get better in November.

NO!!
All the explanation you need is to just take a look at us now with all 3 branches of government being one party.
The only good thing that has come out of the Bush 'era' is that it has definitely reminded us that when one party gets complete control of the government, half of the country has no representation, no voice and this results in enormous division that is not healthy for your nation.

Definitely a one-party system.
Think about it - without the Democratic Party we could finally get up to speed on the things that REALLY need doing.
Everybody would be working - because otherwise there'd be no food on their plates.
We could focus in on the war on terror in a way that will never happen while we have to carry the Weak Sisters on our backs.
I could go on but I say again - a one-party state with the Republicans running the show would rock my world!

I think the best solution is a no-party system.
Make each candidate get up and declare their personal agenda, their goals and their ideas on how to accomplish those goals.
Let's stop polarizing into groups, and voting based on group affiliation. Nothing in the Constitution requires political parties, and I think they were one of the worst mistakes that this country has made over its history.

we only have one party in america .95% of the laws are for business and the ones who paid for your campaign and got you elected are the ones you help .
THE government is always in motion .THEY do not sit around doing nothing but arguing abortion the death penelty and prison terms and taxes .
THEY are busy working on writting laws to prevent competition and how to make it more exspensive and harder to get started .
THIS is why the tax cut for corps come in so handy .
After meeting such stricked rules to get started they need the money back as quickly as possible and to be protected from competition .So a license is granted saying from now one to handle chromium you must have a state certificate and two certified technicians on site .
Well there is no class to become certified and the business is protected for the short term till they force the certification process to open up and allow others to become licensed to handle chromium .
the class is taught at the plant and no one manages to pass but they do get hired and the problem is solved .
THIS is what all the thousands of laws are about in the congress and the state .
ITS like the traffic code .over a thousand pages of rules to stick a key in a switch step on two peddles and avoid smaking in to others .
HOW does this happen one day at a time .
THATS why companies have training and certification classes all the time .
Government rules you know .
THEY pass hundreds of laws every year and hardly any of them deal with death penelty abortion or taxes .
EXCEPT rebates to certain companoes .

The multiple party system allows us to keep the checks and balances in order.

Effective? One-party, you wouldnt have everyone arguing all the time. But that is in an ideal world, which of course is not where we live.
