Wow Kerry took the Florida primary!

Which is crazy, since I prefer neither of the two in power now. Or, rather, I feel that both have been subverted to a power higher than "We The People", and that is greed. It's not a new thing in Washington, which is a symptom of an apathetic or uninformed populace. But, a two party system forces political decision into a majority/minority realm. Each issue of concern enough to be written as a bill by a congressman is addressed by the two parties and either supported or defeated. You can see how controversial elections can get when they are close as in the last US Presidential election. A multi-party system favors the minority with the most cohesive voting block. Which is how you can get Joerg Haider's Freedom Party.

As for fringe party's... And far right(if we are talking about the same right) of Republicans too. Although, all kinds of crack pots claim to be either Republican or Democrat, but fail to endorse their platforms. Like this guy.

We have them all, they just need to pass the 5% consistent average to get matching federal and state election dollars. We had that here in Minnesota briefly, thanks to Jesse Ventura's popularity in getting elected Governor. But, it was not sustained in the last election. Philosophy shifts large enough to unseat either the Democrats or Republicans as major parties wouldn't happen over years, but decades.
