We may hate political parties, but there is little we can do about them.

Abolish the Republican Party and like minded people will form another group and call it something else. The result? No change.

The solution is not to abolish political parties but to educate the citizens to not rely on them or give them power.

The problem is that many citizens are quite happy being told what to think and how to vote by their respective political party.
