the best-organized attempt at breaking out of the 2 party system is being conducted in New Hampshire by the Libertarians, in the form of the Free State Project:

Quote:
What the Free State Project is... The Free State Project is an effort to recruit 20,000 liberty-loving people to move to New Hampshire. We are looking for neighborly, productive, tolerant folks from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, and colors who agree to the political philosophy expressed in our Statement of Intent, that government exists at most to protect people's rights, and should neither provide for people nor punish them for activities that interfere with no one else.
it's a pretty simple idea and they are already having an small impact on the political structure there - if they can get their 20,000 people they need to make the move, it might begin to show some results in 5 or 10 years. if the results are positive ones, they can go national at some point.
