Although third parties may often be opertunists who change coalition alliances with the public flow. Third parties play an importent role in keeping debates in a parlament going and forcing other parties to compromise. RE: What's your alignment?

You're not understanding the nature of American politics. If we had a viable third party, the country would melt down.
Hence Lewis Black at one point shrieking in parody "Three parties?! We can't handle that - my head gets dizzy!!!" ![]()
Two party systems are very toxic to progressive changes.
Mainly because it creates a "if you're not with us, you're with them" situation. However, libertarians in the US are way too far right wing to ever capture me. They participate in CPAC. They make a grand showing in conservative districts. They never include left leaning folks such as myself, even if we'd agree upon quite a few things. Their own myopia is the reason why the Libertarian party is never going anywhere -- Republican-lite doesn't appeal to me at all. Slave to the Patriarchy no more
Oh no. This can't be correct.
