And therein lies the problem. Most people don't like politics unless it is safe and predictable and they DEFINITELY resist/fear change. Like a lot of Republicans nowadays are more than happy to support the current crop of Republicans simply because they ARE Republicans. It makes no difference that this isn't your father's GOP anymore, it has the same name so it's okie dokie. This says to me the sheep are NOT going to support a radical change in the two major parties. Hell, I figure if they just changed the party NAMES people would freak out.
Maybe eliminating parties altogether would be the way to go. Limit the number of candidates for any given office. If a primary works for all parties it should work for ONE party. Also, force them to actually campaign instead of letting TV do all the work, and I don't mean popping up at stadiums once in a while. Get out and let people judge your after shave. Answer some questions without a TV news anchorman moderating.

We also need to get rid of all the seated politicians, and reform the laws of accountability of those in the seats, and then re-elect new members in an OPEN ELECTION and DEBATE open to ALL PARTIES WHO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS.

The only thing I could add is to get rid of them all at once, in one week.
