I was over at And So It Goes in Shreveport and looking at her links Full Metal Jacket Reach Around: The "In My Shell" Edition and noticed she had a link that is going around today. That is dealing with a new British Tea Party. Check it out.
I am not sure a Tea party will work over there. In fact we have yet to see if it will work here.
However it just occurred to me an irony. It seems that I hear a lot more Conservatives than liberals that really want a third party. I mean really want one not just saying the popular cliche- You know throw them out oh we need a third party etc etc.
However thinking about it it seems that a lot of countries(the vast majority) that have multiple parties are far more LIBERAL/Progressive/Socialist whatever than the U.S.A.
In fact I having a hard time of thinking of one country that has multiple parties where the Libertarian paradise reigns!!
So in a irony it is perhaps the people on the left that might want a third party while people on the right would want to fight for a two party system. I am sure by this time hundreds of Poltical Science grad majors have examined this topic. Maybe I will find some of their papers.
Perhaps there is no connection. However is Canada any better off because they have a workable third party from a "conservative point of view"?

Actually, it is easily demonstrable that people on the right, left and center desire more competition and choice in our politics. The only people who want to keep the Democratic-Republican two-party state as is are the people who benefit most from the reproduction of the Democratic-Republican two-party state. And those people are the members of the Democratic-Republican ruling political class and their corporate masters.
