Gallup: 60% Of Americans Say Third Party Is Needed

41. A third party that not enough people will vote for that would change the stalemate.

This sort of talk has been going on since I remember and prior that time, my folks remember talk of a third party. It takes a major implosion of one party to create a viable third - that usually ends up taking the place of the party that imploded.

If we want a viable third party that can be elected in numbers alongside the preeminent two parties, we need to get the money out of elections all-together.

Otherwise, there's just too much more money to be made by people with money to begin with in keeping the status quo with two National parties in constant conflict.

Because with only two parties in charge; with only two parties negotiating and legislating, Government gets pushed down to the level where it's only a game where personal responsibility can be can be dumbed down - sluffed off to the level of a Friday-night Football game. It becomes a Manichean duality concerning "whose on top" rather than a truly representative governance organization.
