That will never happen.

Even if the party system were to be disbanded, the same people who voted democrat or republican would vote for their "Independent" liberal or conservative.

I much prefer term limits for Congress. That way when they get elected, they would do work for the people who got them elected and not the special interests.

Our founding Fathers never meant for these people to be elected for life.
