Default Re: How much longer will the Republican Party last?

There are always going to be conservatives, simply because there will always be liberals. They're relative positions to eachother. Therefore there will always be a conservative and liberal party.

Christianity is the world's largest and still fastest growing religion, and in North America and Europe it's been said for a few years now that it's almost ready for a revival. It's not going away any time soon.


That said, I do agree with your opinions on the folly of a two party system. For many, it really comes down to the better of two evils. What happens, then, when you have a centrist? Whoops, no where to go.

Up here (Canada), you have about 1 or 2 parties in the center, about 5 or 6 on the left, and maybe 4 on the right. Parlaiment consists of a ruling centrist/sometimes center-right party (Conservative), and then three leftist parties (Liberal, socialist, and seperatist). You get alot more choice.

The Right will also probably continue to be strong, because as the topic starter said, we're very well organized. Leftishness is not well defined. You can have socialism, communism, liberalism, environmentalism, etc. Conservatism is one general ideal which encompasses several ideas. Socially, it finds threads withing Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, you name it. Economically, it finds appeal with the working class (at least up here) because it promotes a strong economy.
