I'm a fan of parties, too: the more, the merrier.
The Republicans should be broken up into probably four, and the Democrats into probably a dozen, maybe more depending on what week it is. They'd all be happier with themselves and would all have to learn to work together in coalitions that shifted based on actual issues, not ones that get engraved in stone every few decades. They'd quickly treat their "enemies" better because those would be the people they were working together with on other issues at the same time.
Can you see a Speaker or a Pro Tem who had the job for being able to reach out to people instead of being a machine politician with ideological purity?
