We do, but our politics are simple.
This American stuff is great entertainment and full of meme's.
Down here it works like this:
1.
Labor: promises to build all this shit, give payrises, etc. Get's into power on the back of it...usually only lasts max 2 terms, then gets voted out because they run the economy down/piss everyone off with false promises of economic boom.
2.
Liberals get voted in and start saving and correcting the economy (they are currently in power and were on the cusp of getting Australia into surplus before COVID) start to save, cut costs etc, usually fix up most of the debt accrued from Labor's tenure. Eventually after 8-10 years everyone gets sick of the Liberals because nothing gets fixed/built as they go super saver mode so they get voted back out for Labor who then blows the budget building shit.
Together they co-exist and work together and end up complimenting each other's party style i.e. Labor gets in an builds/updates infrastructure and progresses wages - then the Liberals get in to clean up their debt mess, and so it goes on and on.
