Demise of Republicans and Democrats?

Question

Do you think, with the number of Americans that are fed up with the two dominant parties, that they will be replaced by such parties as the Constitution Party and Green Party in the next 20 years or so?

Answer 1

I wish- though I don't think the answer is to replace two parties with two other ones- nor do I think it will work.

The answer is to not have people declare a party when they register to vote (why are we paying to create a fund-raising list for the parties) and to abolish the party primaries (at least as something paid for by the govenment) and just have an open vote

- that way the best candidate with the best ideas has the best shot- free of party influence- which is ten times more dangerous then special interests.

Answer 2

No.

Unfortunately both parties are so strong in the USA that they crush their competition quickly. One way they do this is by making sure that any legislation introduced by an outside party does not stand a chance of passing, it makes that party ineffectual, and if there is one thing Americans hate more than a corrupt party, it is one that cannot get anything done.

In order to get rid of the parties that are in existance there would have to be a complete change in Constitutional government, and even being the 2nd banana party is better than not being around at all, so it is not in the best interest of the parties to let that happen.

*sigh*

Answer 3

No. Because the two parties are committed to continuing each other's existence. As long as the politicians want to use the power of incumbency, they will gerrymander the electoral districts to assure that no third party will get any electoral base. Of course, there will be exceptions, and the odd-individual who will be elected, despite being an independent or a third-party member; but for every Joe Lieberman or Bernie Sanders, (or Jesse Ventura ! ) , or a few others, the vast majority will continue to be Democrats and Republicans.

Answer 4

No ! The parties have been in control a long time. They change their values so history is not what you think. For instance - did you know that Abraham Lincoln, the president who freed the slaves, was a Republican? Fact is stranger than fiction. The Green Party has tried to get it's foot on the door for a while & is losing it's following. People are slow to change from the normal - that is Democrat or Republican. We need to fix the parties we have by knowing who we elect.

Answer 5

The chances of either party being replaced in the next 20 years or so are exactly 0%.

Answer 6

I would not like to see two parties replaced however, would welcome a multiparty system to evenly distribute the diversity of the American peoples views. To do this the political structure would have to be renovated but within the framework of the Constitution of coarse.

Answer 7

Perot had my help and had an invaluable probability of winning in1992, yet he end... and then got here returned in the race. This led to human beings to lose faith in him. that's unhappy however, he become a helpful businessman who did no longer play the political BS sport, and our u . s . a . might have come out of his term(s) plenty improved economically. to respond to your question, i'm plenty extra waiting for the loss of life of the Dems, who've regularly sank to the backside liberal left, particularly than the Reps. a minimum of the Reps have a foundation in morality and the maintenance of kinfolk values and staying real to the form in the way that our forefathers meant. I certainly have the wish that they are going to return to their conservative roots and decide a Ronald Reagan variety of candidate for POTUS in 2012. although i might choose to be certain the upward thrust of the Conservative party or the form party. they are the two maximum heavily aligned with the factors set via God particularly than self. i think of Reagan might have enjoyed the Conservatives and the Constitutions.

Answer 8

I certianly hope so.
I liked Charlie Crist for Gov. of Fla. based on his record and his platform, or I would have voted Indie last November.
In '08 North Dakotans will have 4 parties to choose from.

I think competition makes all runners faster.
With any luck, the electorate in N.D. will pay closer attention to the issues when they vote, and get elected officials they deserve.

Answer 9

No because I dont think Americans are fed up with the two dominant parties.

Answer 10

the republican party will become an also ran party in the next 20 years because the American people are tired of their lies to get votes and their incompetence and corruption.
