why the trouble reconciling it? i said one or both parties would have to fail for a third party to have a shot (supported by the remaining party btw). I also said people are fed up with both parties right now because in reality we have one party, that's the weakness in a two party system that allows capitalism..and they are for sale. Regardless what adam smith said about capitalism he said in a context of a moral people not a people scrubed of any morality. But that's beside the point, which is the people are fed up with the status quo and they don't see a way out except to vote for the opposition even if they are liberal to drive out the the alleged conservatives. Their choices are vote for those they know to be opposing their views or not vote at all, and when the two parties are run by people of the same ilk it's a Hobbsons' choice
