On January 1, former U.S. Senator William Cohen was interviewed on CNN. He said, “Maybe it’s time for a new party.” He was in both houses of Congress, representing Maine as a Republican, from 1972 thru 1996. He was also Secretary of Defense during President Bill Clinton’s second term. See this link. Thanks to Political Wire for that link.

NOOO new party needed.
PR and APPV and TOTSOP needed.
If he thinks this let him run as an Independent or on a ticket for one of those fringe parties out there.
@Richard Winger
What was Sen. Cohen’s record (if any) on ballot access, election reform and friendliness to third parties?
His beef seems to be directed towards the current Republican party and not a desire to have a multi-party system.
Well, with ranked choice voting, Maine is the place to start. See what you can do back home.
Again?
CONDORCET = RCV DONE RIGHT.
IN THE MEANTIME —
PR AND APPV.
