Probably not going to happen any time soon. The real solution is to get involved. Whether you like him or not, Bill Clinton saw a Democratic party that did not match up with his and many others needs and beliefs. He got involved and helped to change the Democratic party, moving it more to the center where his beliefs were(I am sure many will disagree with the center statement).

The two party system creates a stronger governement, by limiting the number of coalitions that need to be built in order to effectively govern. In many multi-party systems, smaller often fringe groups gain a great deal of power that does not represent the majortiy of citizens. So don't bitch about your party, get out there and help change it.
