Should we Change our Two-Party System?

From flickr.com/photos/59939844@N03/14078001609/: How do we vote? A series of articles here on OpEd News, Balanced Voting, explored a family of voting methods, any of which, if adopted, would in time break us of our longstanding habit of choosing between only two major political parties.

The poll question is: Should we Change our Voting System to Promote More Viable Parties?

"Rob Kall has been the center of a vast, decentralized conversation for years, letting us hear in interviewees' own words the power of connection in every realm. His new book brings it all together, showing us that the old order is broken and fast being replaced from the bottom up. The old power elite may not know it yet, but millions of us -- organizers, artists, thinkers and doers -- have gotten the message. So should you, by reading Bottom-Up."

Arlene Goldbard, author of The Culture of Possibility: Art, Artists & The Future
