well, i'm kinda hoping for a split because it'd make it easier to separate the neo-fascists from the more traditional conservatives.
and because it would doom the american right in the process to a long long period of irrelevance.
but i also kinda agree with mm---a split of the democrats that might give the progressives an actual voice wouldn't be bad.
but i think parliamentary systems more democratic than the american in any event, and expect that a multiplication of the parties would lead to a procedural problem would lead to some basic rule changes which of course would cause the militia people to talk about revolt more.
