The Democratic Party is becoming unimportant. They will be a small regional party soon. Then go the way of the Whigs. Then hopefully a new party will be the opposition to the republicans. IMO it will hopefully be the 3rd biggest party, the Libertarian Party. This may be a fantasy but fingers crossed.

Although I agree with you that the liberal democrat party is dying and dying fast, there is no way the Libertarian party is going to gain any more than 0.25% of the vote.

If on the other hand, if the Libertarian Party were to champion libertarian ideas, they might be able to earn a place in the arena.
