I think that would only be short term though. The money interests have become so adept at infiltrating politics and taking over, that any new party that started to gain influence would be corrupted within one or two election cycles. Especially with the new supreme court rulings that allow UNLIMITED and totally secret corporate political contributions.

We have to get all the money out of politics. The two party system does work somewhat well, we just have to get the corporate money out of it.

Once we get the money out, then maybe a new party will emerge on it's own anyway.
