Your NOT going to get it with the current structure! You have to end Representative Government by constitutional amendment! In order to serve the most people the best a true democracy utilizing Majority rule & control by the legal citizens. So call your third party "Legal citizen majority" or the LCM for short! People who work for the citizens "government" should be well managed EMPLOYEE'S who can be replaced or fired at will!

There is one common denominator all of us have in common to unite on "rule & control of Money" A majority WILL form around this!

Actually, there shouldn't be ANY political parties. It was one of the main issues that George Washington dictated against in his Farewell Address...go us.

Majority rule processes do not require consensus for group action. Instead, decisions are made by voting with a majority determining the position of the entire group. This approach has the advantage of being able to produce a prompt and clear decision. (In may take some time before consensus processes can reach a decisions--if they can at all.) Unfortunately, majority rule processes provide only limited incentives for the parties to compromise or to find a way for dealing with issues that serve the interests of all participants. Instead, the incentive is to compromise only enough to build a majority coalition. Once a winning coalition has been achieved, the parties are largely free to ignore the interests of other participants. This effect can be limited somewhat by rules which require super-majorities (60%, 2/3 or 3/4 for important decisions). Even with super-majorities, however, the tendency of majority rule processes is to divide society into two competing coalitions (often referred to as the right and left, or liberals and conservatives). One key to controlling what is sometimes called the "tyranny of the majority" are norms and rules which prevent the majority from disregarding the basic rights of the minority. These rights, as they are applied in a political context in the United States for example, include but are not limited to the following:
Individual Freedom -- people should be allowed to do what they want unless their actions hurt others,
Equal Protection -- the laws should be applied equally to all members of society
Voting Rights -- all members of the society have the right to vote,
Freedom of Speech -- all members of the group have the right contribute whenever ideas they want the public debate,
Individual property -- individual property cannot be taken for group used public use without just compensation,
Due Process -- fair processes are used to resolve disputes concerning these rights.

Who do you think in either House is going to vote to do away with their job? Who is going to vote to change the Constitution & end representative government.
Who would you get to run this type government? The people, the same people who cannot agree on what to have for lunch much less how to run this country.
You would have to have a following in order to start this type of LCM government. People are so intrentched with the major two parties that none of the other smaller groups can gather a following large enough to even get on the ballot! The Green party for one. Never seen it on any ballot. Socialist, nope.
Looks like, if you were to persue such an idea, it's gonna be a mighty big job & a long one!

I disagree. If a group were able to amass enough wealth and power they could start a third party. Being a two party democratic system is a rarity, most democracies, or republics rather have on the order of 5 parties. And since the US republic was formed, there have been quite a few different parties, yet always a 2 party system.

I'm not sure I want to be "dominated" by anyone. But I wouldn't mind seeing some new players in the game. The two major parties have become such a pathetically corrupt pack of political pigs, I don't care which third party wins. We just need to shake things up!

If we ended the current form of government with a constitutional amendment the constitution itself would be void, so would that amendment still count? And if we took a majority vote on everything in America you would have to turn out 250,000,000 people everytime.

have you ever heard the phrase "tyranny of the majority"?
I would guess you have not.
I would never want to live in a "true democracy", too much opportunity for corruption that way.
In a true democracy if the 51% of the people with brown eyes all vote that that the 49% of the people with blue eyes are slaves, then the blue eyed people are slaves.
This to me is not a good idea.
Representative government is not perfect, but it's the best thing the misguided mass called humans have ever come up with yet.

A third party would be fine,but i would be fine with dems or rep.if they could grow a spine and quit moving to the center.That is not any way to govern.Rep need to move right and Dems need to move left then as they are elected we will see that the best government is less government.

Why do you care what form of government we have in the US? You have never said where you come from (it's not the US we know that) but why not?
Tell us where you are from and how your government works and why you think it is better. Quite frankly the plan you are advocating would lead to anarchy.
The two party system has lead to corruption but anarchy is not the solution.

Oh, great...guaranteed election by the poor and ignorant. I'd go for this if there was a requirement of minimal knowledge of current events. Nothing "political"...just basic facts... How many senators does your state have. Who is YOUR senator? What is your state capital? Who is your governor? Who is the current president, vice president, secretary of state?
Stuff like that. If you don't have that basic knowledge, you don't need to be voting. (Yes, I know the "how many senators" question was a gimmee...but you wouldn't believe how many people don't know that one.)
