Political Parties Need to be Tossed Onto the Scrap Heap of Democracy's Failuresnew
There are already factions within the two major parties struggling for influence. We'd surely like to see more cross-pollination among them on various policy issues based not on what they think is in the long-term interest of their factions, but on what they think is in the long-term interest of the majority of the public -- or, what was once known as the middle class.
