High time for a third party in the United States!

The November 3rd general elections in the United States and its aftermath have made it abundantly clear that the traditional two party system in the U.S. has failed tremendously!

One party has been very determined at all cost to attain power and it has drifted further to the far radical left, while the other one is weak, almost defeatist, and unrecognizable for what it stands!

For decades the conservative movement and more recently the Tea Party movement have tried hard to shape the Republican Party. However, their success was rather very limited. They have been resisted by incumbents, vested interests, and lifelong career politicians in the GOP.

A new third party should start afresh and be focused on a few guiding principles:

  1. Classical liberalism
  2. More individual freedom and individual responsibility
  3. More free market economy
  4. More federalism and less centralism
  5. SMALL and limited government
Perhaps this third party will never become a majority party in the U.S. Congress! However, if it gains enough votes it will be a potent power to prevent the other two parties from implementing stupid policies!
