sorry i had to kind of shorten the question to make it fit and make sense...
if were several choices from each 'major' party on the presidential ballot each election day (in addition to so-called 'third' or 'fourth' parties) how would politics change?
would the major parties split into factions, or would their members unite together to keep hold of their political power? would they unite against other parties or each other? would smaller parties have a chance at all? would their be utter chaos, 'business as usual', or would a new system evolve rapidly? civil war?
here's another twist: keep the electoral college. if a candidate wins a state it's his (or hers) along with all its electoral votes. plurality (not majority) of electoral votes wins.
just curious if there's some way to tweak this idea to make it worth considering on some scale... what are your thoughts?
