For a couple of hundred years the United States has shuffled along with its two party system. I call them Mutt and Jeff but most people call them Republicans and Democrats. Because they know their turn will always come around eventually, these politicians don't really have to do much to change the way the US works. Their salaries and perks are safe. Their long-term prospects for success in and out of office always look rosy. What a cushy number.
Now imagine what it would be like if we had four political parties, or maybe five. Most Western countries have a multi-party system which tends to keep politicians on their toes. Time for the people in the United States to do the same. All these Occupy protests should be turned into forming new political parties that can really bring CHANGE to Washington. Poor old Obama has brought much change under his tenure.
