On October 30, a poll of small business owners was released, concerning election reform. See the report here. The poll shows that 78% prefer a multi-party system for the U.S. It also shows that 85% favor public funding for election campaigns, and 83% favor non-partisan commissions for drawing U.S. House and legislative district boundaries.
The respondents were: 48% Republican, 32% Democratic, 11% independent, 9% other or did not answer that question. Thanks to Rob Richie for the link.
Do they also favor radical campaign finance reform? If not they may as well favor draining the oceans and refilling them with chocolate sauce.
The two party system will remain the norm unless an until money in our campaigns is reduced by nine or ten figures. Then maybe third parties have a chance.
Unity is a key which is a game changer. People just need to wake up and focus on what’s really happening and the reason this new unifying psychology is being generated.
The 9th USA Parliament has been uniting voters under pure proportional representation (PR) for 19 consecutive years and 2015 will be the 20th. It’s not like we need to start from scratch.
If you want to be part of a team that has been perfect with regard to multi-party cooperation for so long then we welcome you and the role you can play. Time is getting short and if we don’t start now the opportunity could be lost for a very long time.
With the establishment of the parliamentary procedures under pure proportional representation and this phenomena just a phone call, an email or facebook away. No need to travel across the country anymore to observe and verify:

All federal elections should be financed by the public solely. How much money the government should give is academic. However, every candidate who makes it to the ballot – whether major party, 3rd party, or Independent – should receive the same amount of public financing. This will be a start toward true campaign finance reform.
