Does anybody see the possibility of a new political party?

Not really, The H. Ross Perot supporters had the best chance, and they have created some waves as independents, but all the other ones are basically fringe groups and wackos. My apologies to the Green Party, Communists, Marxists, and the Peta people.

I think it is entirely possible since there have been many political parties that have even become president in the US. Do I see it happening in the next 2-10 years? Not really. Personally, I say get rid of all political parties and have people actually represent the people.

Unless there is some huge trying issue that splits one of the current parties, it is highly unlikely that there will be another party any time soon. The last time there was a new party that actually made a difference (as in getting a sizeable minority in either the House or Senate) was back before the Civil War. They're known today as the Republicans. There is no great push for a new party and too many Americans are stuck in their party loyalties to think of splitting completely.

The better question would be... could a new politcal party with a defined middle territory agenda that is not too Republican, and not too Democratic catch on enuf to turn the tables. The answer is yes, but it will take a great spokes person wiht a lot of money, a lot of advertising, and getting the message out in a way that's appealing and choosing an agenda that has a little something for everyone.

New parties don't work because people are Liberal or Conservative and a new party would split either one which would make one of the existing parties more power full.

The Green party basically caused Al Gore not to be elected because they took enough votes away from him in certain states that might have helped him swing the votes for the elector college.

I would love to see it. A political party representing the working class. I just don't think there is enough financial support for it.

No, the reps. and dems. have too much money to let a third party take some of their party. Also, it would really mess up elections, with a candidate needing more than 1/3 of the vote I think to win.

Either one party needs to evolve or a party representing liberal social values and fiscal conservative values should emerge in the near future. The libertarian party comes close, but they are too wary of the legitimate functions of a successful government.

There definitely should be. Here in Canada we have four major parties right now. It's great because you can really find a party that suits your needs. Things aren't black and white. I can't imagine being forced to choose either Rep. or Dem. Things aren't that simple.

There are other political parties out there, but they are NOT noteworthy because of their low membership. Have you never heard of the Libertarian Party?
