i woudl rather see politacl parties vanish all together than to have a third party. look at the troubl ethe brits are in with all their different parties. they now have the highest tax rate of any developed nation.
the truth about politics is that many of the people seeking office are just on a power quest, the press spins everything so they can sell another issue or a reporter can grab another by-line off the wires, and the only people who can afford to make policy are the ones who can afford to avoid suffering from it anyway.
at least on our local level we had a true independant run. he only got about 650 of the under 10k votes cast(yes kids, only about 40% of our township made it to the polls), but it was still nice to see.
