And you're right that until there are more, it won't make a third-party or any independents truly viable nationwide. But its use in Maine will allow for one to grow in the state and even maybe take a seat in Congress. It also allows for other states to see what goes on in Maine and maybe start a spread of this around the country.

The problem being that the parties in power will have a seldom bipartisan agreement that they don't really want this. Is what I'd figure. I can't really see them being in support of a third party emerging.

And if people ever would care enough to make this a movement, I don't know. Do they? And what caused the Maine exception in the first place? (Asks the guy who's too lazy to do his own research on that.)


Side comment on topic, I just thought it's amazing how conservatives' self-definition often seems to have more to do with liberals than with their own side.
And how in the end it's probably quite similar the other way round. I'm one of these because I sure am not one of those.
You really need more parties. This political landscape is turning into a bipolar disorder.
