One of the fundamental problems with the two party system we have today is that the two parties have become vested interests themselves. This is a result of them existing as groups for so long.

And like any system for allocating power that has existed for any length of time, there are those that have figured out how to exploit the system. As more and more people learn to exploit the system it becomes less responsive to real problems and more stagnate.

In the end it becomes necissary to change the system every so often. Not because the new system is inherently better or the old system is bad, but simply to remove all the leeches that have attached themselves to the old system.
