It seems to me, through my observations on here, and of the media, that the biggest problem in American politics is the two party system, and I'm curious to know just how it is enshrined in law, is it on the constitution, and what would have to happen to get it revoked?

There is no real law set up to enforce the two-party system, it isnt legally in place to begin with.It seems to me, through my observations on here, and of the media, that the biggest problem in American politics is the two party system, and I'm curious to know just how it is enshrined in law, is it on the constitution, and what would have to happen to get it revoked?
I would be in favor of a modified parliamentary system. We need to ensure that there is representation for as many groups as possible in the US.

Its an interesting thought, but how would it be implemented? There are thousand, if not tends of thousands of different viewpoints across the US. How do we ensure that they are all heard?How do you feel about agonism?

Basically, it's automatic party representation.
Where every belief gets a voice in the process, instead of majority rules, it's a competition of ideas.

Its not enshrined in law, and so there's no way to repeal it.It seems to me, through my observations on here, and of the media, that the biggest problem in American politics is the two party system, and I'm curious to know just how it is enshrined in law, is it on the constitution, and what would have to happen to get it revoked?

Then I'd worry about it turning into a LFG chat. "Join my political party! I'll pay you $100!"I think a minimum standard of membership should be established.
Maybe 100k verifiable party members.
I think it would curb district vote buying and really focus everything down to which ideas will work, instead of which party has the most money.

You're also still back to majority rules.
The US has had 5 party system changes in its history or so. Makes me wonder if another one is possible at this point.
I wasnt really referring to the tea part but some sparkly -other- party system or some sortof fundamental shift in politics but that wouldnt occur barring some major cataclysm.
It often happens and that schism breaks free and remains their own separate entity - or is reabsorbed into one of the other parties. The Democratic party has split maybe 6
And the Republican Party has had it's splits as well. Take, for instance, the schisms between the Solid South, made up of former Dixiecrats, who joined it during the '60's and '70's and the Rockefeller Republicans from the Northeast.
