that would be great. Our fore fathers, or was it the fifth fathers, warned us about the problems with political parties. They got that one right.

Wish we could get rid of them but I honestly don't know how that could be done.

Perhaps the problem is not that we have political parties it is that we have only two dominant political parties. Perhaps the solution is to get rid of the dominance factor by having five viable political parties where coalitions will need to be formed.

As it stands now, there is no real advantage for the two dominant political parties to ever cooperate.
