A third party is simply to hard to start, perot got something like 20% of the vote and didn't even manage a single electoral vote, in the UK this would probably at least give you a decent number of parlimentary seats, you could then prove yourself in opposition and have something to build on, but 20% of the vote in a presidental election is no use.....

I would like to see a third party, the likes of McCain lieberman and some dino and rino's... though to be honest i would like to see the republican party taken down to the palin base, these crazy's can be off on the side as an entertaining distracting while the democrats and new mccain party could get down to real issues...
