There will never be a viable third party in this country until we get major campaign finance reform. the two major parties control too much of the money and resources needed to elect a candidate.
But I believe that a third party is exactly what we need to break the gridlock in congress. It doesn't even have to be a big third party. It just needs to control enough seats to swing votes one way or the other.
I don't think there will ever be enough parties so that every person has one that 100% meshes with his beliefs. But something needs to change so that we can start fixing some of the problems facing this country. As long as "compromise" is seen as a dirty word in congress the United States will continue to suffer.
