The moment you get rid of political parties, all these independent-minded new folks we have elected will start forming alliances. Because how else are you going to pass anything through a house that requires a majority vote? Pretty soon they'll be swapping support on one issue for support on another. You'll have political parties back again by the end of the week.

Correct. Political parties are the natural resting point in which our system will always come to rest. The system didn't get this way by random chance. Politicians evolved by setting what does and doesn't work within the confines of the system and this is what we ended up with. The only solution would be to change the rules - which would be difficult at best.

MAYBE there could be more than two parties. That's the best case scenario, IMO.

well... accounting for the speed of government, more likely by the end of the quarter.
