The current two-party system disregards the rights of citizens who views do not fit that of the two major parties. As of 2010, Gallup polling found that 31% of Americans identified as Democrats (tying a 22-year low), 29% as Republicans, and 38% as independents.[3] By 2011 Gallup found that Americans identifying as independents had risen to 40 percent. This 40% is not properly represented by the two-party system. The system needs to be revamped to fix this issue, by abolishing this traditional system.
