Yeah I need to learn more about it, but what I did here sounded interesting. I think it could bring a lot more volatility to our elections, reinforcing checks and balances, which our country needs.

I like the idea a lot but the two controlling parties will never support it. It’s a threat to them. I doubt it would actually result in a 3rd party candidate getting elected (at least within a near timeframe) but what it would do is show the support they and their policies have with the general public. That support would like not align with those of our corporate masters and they’d rather it stay suppressed.
