In other words, no one is well-represented by the system as-is. <br /><br />Another possibility for the future in NY's 23rd, specifically, is that the Republican and Conservative Parties marginalize the Democratic Party to the point that it becomes a third party in that district. If in another district in NY, the Green Party, for instance, were to successfully challenge a seat that has been Dem for as long as anyone remembers, the effect would be an undermining of the duopoly. The state's delegation would be multiparty even though contests in every district were still only two-party races.d.erishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09186054212519025557noreply@blogger.com
