More on the UK Independence Party:
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/01/04/britain-version-tea-party-rocks-political-system-across-pond/It's interesting that Farage points out the major difference between themselves and the Tea Party movement here is that UKIP have no delusions about reforming the Conservative Party. They want to replace it, not reform it. I think this is a clarity of purpose that the Tea Party needs to adopt. Granted, it is easier for upstart parties in a parliamentary system like Britain's, but just because our system favors two strong parties that doesn't mean we should be stuck with them forever.
Since I think we are probably well past any political solution, I see no harm in pursuing maximum boldness in the political arena. Whatever slim chance there might be of a political solution, it's one that is going to require maximum boldness anyway. This game of Beltway Patty-cake with the GOP makes no sense to me. The GOP are the Scottish nobles in Braveheart, always trying to suck the wind out of Wallace's sails while they secretly collude with the English in exchange for personal benefit.
