U Not Gonna Like This

More from their platform page (link):


The Republican and Democratic parties have monopolized the political system by capturing the money that runs elections, preventing worthy challengers and third parties from fair access to the ballot, and blocking open political debate. This has debased our democratic institutions and degraded the quality of politicians who seek to hold public office.



The former independent Governor of FLORIDA and three term U.S. Senator Lowell Weicker wrote, “The two-party system owes its continued existence to the self-aggrandizement of Republicans and Democrats and to many in the news media who look upon change as expensive logistically. The public is miles ahead of the politicians and the press in seeing the irrationality of the present {duopoly} system.”




The Last Straw



When our elected officials made bribery legal by calling it campaign contributions and declaring money to be free speech, that was more than we The people could, or would, take. Citizen distaste for the two parties is a long established fact. The natural consequence of such distaste, logically thinking should be the creation of a third major political party, a party that is centrist, addresses the broad spectrum of issues and produces true competition and superior government.
