When in reality, no only could you just form a new party (lol tea party is not real), you could also go independent. I forgot why a two party system is efficient, to me, it always seem like they're terribly dead locked or more concerned with party support and obligation than with the actual country.
And from an objective point- Republicans are mostly a mess. They are so ugly right now there are republicans who are disgusted of other republicans. Democrats aren't flawless, but they are doing better than republicans.
A two-party system isn't efficient. With 3 or more parties, you have a broad spectrum of ideas covering the majority of the people. I'm always thinking, geez, if you don't like Republicans or Democrats, vote Green! I do know that some countries in the world have multiple parties holding seats, major ones, and less major ones. It'd be nice if our independent parties here in the U.S. weren't so small though. I'd love for my party, the Green party, to be able to jump into the political spotlight, but it's too small. That's why I support the Democrats right now, because their platform is closest to the Green platform. It would also be nice to see the Libertarian party in the mix as well. Another great factor that would make this work even better would be mandated voting. Don't they have that in Australia?
