It is not so hard to imagine a six-party system — and it would not even require a constitutional amendment. Do you favor or oppose providing a way for undocumented immigrants already in the United States to become citizens? I would rather be a citizen of the United States than any other country. Until American politics nationalized in the 1980s and 1990s around divisive culture-war issues, they operated more independently within the two major political parties. Freeing the existing factions to forge new and shifting alliances would liberate the political innovation lying untapped in our political system.
