It is like a monopoly, the two party system that we have. If I vote for a third party, then it always seems like I am just throwing my vote away. So how do we get more people to vote. If we could get those 87%, (which is not a concrete number, but there is a lot of people who do not vote), of people who don't vote, to vote for a different party, then the Republican and Democratic parties would be destroyed and there might actually be a chance that our country will survive for another 100 years. It seems like these two parties are destroying our nation.

A third party viable candidate would need to be "normal". Poirot was just a little to out there and many of the other parties have definite agendas, ie green party, communist etc... Getting some one like Bloomberg to run and actually make a showing would go a long way to promoting the third party as a serious contender. Actually believe the time is ripe for this to occur. Neither party is holding all of it's members right now and disgust with both groups is one thing everybody seems to have in common.

If there have been a functional candidate... Ron Paul and Ralph Nader the two are not what i might vote for. suitable now, the Democrats are shooting themselves interior the foot lower back. With this spending equipment we are seeing, it somewhat is in basic terms not long formerly as quickly as lower back the Republicans are on top of issues, which may well be greater effective for each American if we've been there now. it somewhat is unhappy to confirm them snub their noses at history and go forward with something all of us know would be a disaster. With the Congressional Republicans status good, and with any luck the Senate Republicans will do an identical... we can tutor the country lower back who the greater effective party for economic improve and prosperity is....

Start at the grass roots level by replacing many of our representatives with third party candidates. That's really the only way to create a viable third party.
You'll notice that a third party candidate never stands a chance during a general Presidential election because third parties carry little or no clout.

Three would be the most amount of parties I would want to see. If we were to go to a third party, I'd like it to be the libertarian party. I think most people in America identify with the libertarian views, and would vote for them if they were a credible third party or if they knew more about them. As of now, independent votes are a waste.

Local level assassinations at first and then as police and military forces are stretched thin a massive assault on the central government . No less then 1000 private planes could all converge on washington loaded with explosives and destroy much of the central offices .
Or a quiet campaign to kill off billionaires one by one . They tend to have the money to influence state and national elections .

maybe a no party system where the individual legislator had to build relationships rather than have the corporations and PAC's dictate legislation.

Instant run-off voting.
One campaign fund divided EQUALLY amongst all qualified candidates, regardless of party.
Just 2 I could think of right now...
