the Genisis of a third party

[gunnss]

For about a month now I have been considering the creation of a practical third party.

Past examples of third party's have been tools of the ideology they opposed. Better said most third party attempts have been formed by trying to slice of the extreme end of one of the two political extremes. The most common result is to draw support from their nearest idealogical cognate and thus give the election to the opposition.

It would seem that a true third party would have to draw from a pool of voters that does not have strong ties to either of the current extremes. If my numbers are correct the current voting pool has about 20% that would vote for a potted plant if their party put it up for election, that accounts for 40% the remaining 60%is composed of voters that consider themselves independent and form a spectum of individuals that lean to one end or the other to the true neutrals in the middle.

I propose that the middle 20% of this spectum be the third party. And I think that the proper platform would make such a party viable.

So what should the platform of such a third party be?

I voted for Perot twice and yes eskimo, he should have been.

Boy 4 years of looking at those ears would have been to much. I preferred domestic chaos.

Actually where I am going with this is, "How would a third party build a platform to attract the independent voter in the middle?" I am talking about the voter that is not committed to either end of this spectrum and is independent of the labels that the extremes are forcing on the public. What platform would attract the forces of moderation and reason?

Honestly, I'm this close to forming the Conservative party.  Every Rino politician would be denied membership.
