There should be 3 parties.

One for admitted socialists/commies (most Dems)
One for RINO/DINO jelly spined “moderates” (like Romney)
and one for true conservatives.

The single member district and first past the pole voting rules work to disallow a realistic THIRD PARTY.

Now, the news ~ Charles Sumner's seat was the one Teddy Kennedy held. Teddy, of course, loved black slavery as much as Charles hated the practice.

That's just in case someone gets the stupid idea that it's OK to let Democrats hold that Senate seat.

Send Elzbeth Warren back to her secret laboratory where she burns frogs with concentrated Sunlight. Don't let her kick Senator Brown out of Sumner's seat.

People generally are dualistic with choices, no matter how many parties pop up, you’ll have two major and several ineffective minor.

You could have a major issues that have 5 different, unique positions but people would naturally gravitate to two of those positions. It is why third parties never really do any good and the history of successful new parties usually is those parties jumping in as one of the primary two, not being a successful ‘third’ choice.
