No political party would result in even more gridlock and some fantastic fights on the floor of congress.
We need to encourage more voter turnout so people are involved and understand the issues better.[/quote]
Why do you think that is? The time when elected officials represent the interests of *the people* instead of special interests is long overdue.
As it stands, it’s too easy for special interests to control politicians because they only have to control one or two political parties. Politicians feel that they have no choice but to work on behalf of these wealthy interests who finance their campaigns and give them their political (and economic, in many cases) power.
We need to get money and bribery (promises of jobs, special access to social power, resources, etc.) out of politics. The first step is to dismantle the party system that is specifically designed to serve the interests of a handful of wealthy individuals. If more gridlock results, then that is the price that many of us would be all too happy to pay in order to significantly reduce political corruption and the pandering to wealthy special interests.
