Ya, I thought years ago, there were 2 major parties in the UK, the Conservatives and Labour. Then a smattering of minor parties. Sounds like this UKIP is developing into a major political party there.
Could we see a new major political party in America? Why are we stuck with just Republicans and Democrats? Other minor parties such as Libertarians have just never gained traction here. But why couldn’t a new party replace the Republicans eventually, for example?
That’s why you hear pasty Cameron saying he’s going to get tough on immigration. They’re scared shitless of UKIP.
There have always been three major parties: Labour, Tory, Liberals (or Liberal democrats or Lib Dems for short). Then smaller parties: usually minor socialist parties, the nationalist parties in Scotland, Wales and NI, some small conservative parties, and a lot of very small almost pointless parties. Some done for fun, like the Monster Raving Loony Party or Lets Have Another Party Party.
