Is our 2 party system just a con?

[willedoo]

Yes, I think they are far better off on their own. As a party they could end up being neither here nor there. Some of them of a similar persuasion could be loosely alligned but I doubt a party would work.

Isn't a politcal party an alliance of like-minded persons?

[willedoo]

It is, but it's a very tight and strict alliance normally. Stray from the party line and you get the boot is how a lot of them operate.
