| The political system in the US is, as originally designed, the best system ever devised by man. Unfortunately, the current system is NOT the one originally intended by the founding fathers. I do not think there should be any further criteria interjected in the voting process. What should be REMOVED is the current two party stranglehold on American politics. No candidate or party should receive federal funds for any reason, period. No matching funds, not presidential re-election campaign donations on the IRA forms, no NOTHING. This would have a tremendous impact on the political landscape. Heretofore smaller parties could become more dominant more quickly. Look at how many different political parties there were before the civil war.? |
