Maybe we need a new amendment that states parties are not allowed, or no less than 5, and more than three people talking politics constitutes a party. We need to introduce randomness and consensus into the system. Make it so hard to get anything done that there better be one hell of a consensus for it to get passed. Any law passed should benefit the vast majority of the citizens, none of this 49/51 party line phony bullshit which is you pass my shit today and I'll pass your shit tomorrow. Back and forth, its a dog and pony show, and EVERY bill passed screws the citizens while enriching lawmakers. The two party system is a sham, corrupt to the core.

Uk and Israel have multiple parties. For us it would probably mean the communist, environmentalists, and socialists could form a coalition larger then anyone else. Something like this is how it would play out: government made up of 10+10+10 because it beats separate factions of 21>20>5>4

Is there a good way to prevent the building of criminal coalitions? Maybe allow the NSA to spy, or rather "supervise" our elected officials, keep a thumb on them to prevent criminal activity? Somebody has to watch those in charge and right now the military is the only thing we have left in gov't that is honorable and trustworthy.
