Would a major third party fix our politics and government?
The truth is, a major third party would make next to no difference in changing America. Here are all of the pros, as well as a few of the cons: Pros: -Congress would be forced to compromise with the new party -More candidates to vote for in Congress and the Presidency -Moderates would have their own party Cons: -Congress’ decisions would be made even more slowly. -Congress’ decisions will still be solely based on gaining political power and financial prosperity for their respective parties. A third party would not change that. -The blurriness of the current party lines would actually dissolve the third party eventually, anyway. -The same people who generally sway an election would no longer be swaying the election; their vote would merely be dedicated to party members voting for their respective parties.
