Well technically anyone COULD represent us, it's just that the whole social aspect of these parties kinda gets in the way of that happening. Oh, and allowing ANYONE to represent us should indeed be allowed. It wouldn't lead to anarchy, because people still have to go through the legal channels to get voted in, and more importantly they have to win the election. I don't see the problem.
As for you saying "yeah right" ABF, like I said I just happen to agree on a good number of issues. I wouldn't even say I agree. I wasn't even aware that a lot of what I thought was their opinion until a few years ago when I read up on it. If they suddenly changed their minds on some issues, I wouldn't suddenly shift my view to accomidate, like a good number of partisans would. I don't really sympathize with them either. I find both parties to be blockers myself. I really don't like how they have these pre-rounds going on where presidential candidates FIRST have to win a contest to get the right to represent a party. That just takes out even more of the competition due to an unfair decider who isn't me.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
