Third Party and Systems


Libertarian Party
Their ideology is essentially classical liberalism. This means greater personal freedom and less government involvement. Many say they are more socially liberal than democrats and more conservative with funding than republicans. For example, they currently want to lower taxes and get rid of the prohibition on certain illegal drugs.
Constitutional Party
The constitutional party is a party they claim is based on the constitution. It is a right-wing and very Christian party, with its platform even stating Biblical intentions. They believe that restoring biblical intentions and basic constitutional rights is paramount
Alaskan Independence Party
This party is for the Independence of Alaska as a free country. It promotes many classical liberalism traits like limited government, but is classified as right-wing.

The two-party system, like every system, has flaws. The dominance of two parties means a lack of diversified representation. However, it ensures a certain amount of security. By that people can be assured they know what they are voting for, or at least think they know. A multi-party system allows for a more complicated government, but also allows for more new ideas to be heard. Government is complicated no matter who runs it, so why not just throw in a multi-party (three plus) system?
