According to this editorial, the two-party system may go the way of the Edsel and fiscally conservative Congressmen. The East Valley Tribune’s editorial staff wrote:

Voters do have choices other than Republican or Democrat. One nonpartisan Web site for political information, politics1. com, lists 33 active third parties that have nominated federal candidates in more than one state. Only the Libertarian Party has ballot standing in Arizona, but seven others are actively seeking members here. So far, none of these third parties has sparked enough national interest to overcome the structural barriers created by the Republican and Democratic parties to protect their standing.

Perhaps if enough of us work together, we can continue to break down those barriers created by the two major parties. A good place to start is with ballot access, which will be a core function of the Libertarian Party for the next couple of years.
