Should We Have Political Parties?

Well that may be beyond the topic of the thread, but I agree. Anymore, as long as you are a Rep. or Dem. and as long as you are charismatic and can raise cash, you most likely will win the election. That isn't how it should be.

Me personally, I'd like to see:
(1) more political parties with less emphasis on just Rep. or Dem. as this makes it too black and white, when most issues are gray.
(2) caps on the amount allowed to be spent on the election or some other system that would equally distribute the same amount for all candidates of all parties. (It is currently impossible to be elected if you aren't a registered Rep. or Dem.
(3) abolishment of the electoral college. This is ridiculous. The popular vote should determine the winner (no exceptions). And with current technology, that is not hard to accomplish. And if they were to keep the electoral college, which there is no reason to do, they should forbid the winner take all result that almost all states use which makes no sense.
