[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1653110, member: 24816"] Just my pondering, but I think our two party system has served well, but now the system is being stressed. Both the Left and the right are increasingly getting entrenched farther and farther out on the political spectrum and fewer folks in the moderate categories. I think that the middle is where most of the work has been accomplished with members on each side coming to compromise on a range of issues. With the movement to the far right and far left there is little interest in even settling for compromise but rather becoming entrenched in ideology and not willing to budge on anything it’s almost like everybody wants whole hog or nothing. The way the two party system is working now it’s that the respective voter bases are so divided that they are voting for the farthest candidates in the primaries a lot of times thus pushing out more moderate candidates. I’m not sure I want to see it play out but I believe there are probably at least 2 more parties that could emerge. With 4 parties I don’t know what it would look like congress wise maybe something like the governing systems in other countries that form coalitions when voting. [/QUOTE]
