More of the same from this GUEST. While I agree that voters in general have a much more independent streak that before, this really means that they are more willing to cross party lines than their desire to abandon the two party system. Unless we went to a parliamentary system, having a dozen parties would only serve to increase the problem, not cure it. This is because there would not be the ability to create bloc's in the manner of Canada and Great Britain.

Ron, I would prefer you to those that only decry the current parties. They never have solutions, rather they usually just complain about what is wrong. Their appeal is limited and is usually just a blip, such as with Nader and Perot.
