Our system as it stands is a two-party system. It is strongly architectured to be that. As I have said before, it has just enough parties to be plural (i.e. two). Right now we have one party that simply is not viable in a Democracy and would quickly be sent to the trash heap except it is propped up by the "Liberal Press" (because they own it). Even the name, "The Liberal Press", gives it away. If it were The Liberal Press, they would of course call it, "The Conservative Press". The Conservative party stands on a precipice and indeed is tottering. We may see it plummet within the next year or so. Another second party will inevitably spring up. What it will be is anybody's guess.
