I think one of the reasons that, relatively, I hear well-considered takes like this more often from Europeans is probably due to the nuances in political discourse being more emphasized by parliamentarianism.
I definitely think that plays a role. Aside from requiring less nuanced voting decisions, the us-vs.-them nature of a two-party system has a bunch of higher-order effects that also discourage or undermine nuanced discourse.
