In the U.S., people at least know that there are more than two political parties that presently exist even if they also don't know what they truly are all about. It doesn't make any sense to keep going about each and every Presidential/ Vice Presidential election and pretend that there's only the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in existence in the United States. The Green Party, the Libertarian Party, the Constitution Party, the Reform Party, and other political parties also presently exist in the U.S. whether people like it or not. There are also sometimes situations where there are very strong independent candidates for Pres./V.Pres. as well with H. Ross Perot being one such example of this in 1992 and in 1996. At least, Mr. Perot was included in the debates in '92, and the media ratings were the highest ever because of his inclusion. What are the major political parties afraid of by not including others? More of the general public would pay attention to all of the debates!
