Used to be you just made sure your party had broad appeal. When you choose to become a regional party the system isn't required to change so that becomes viable for the first time in 225 years.

I sincerely doubt that either will be a consideration when negotiating with the military junta to restore democracy. When I was studying law in UK in 1990's professors took it as a given that US system would collapse like all Presidential systems in a crisis of legitimacy.
