Third Parties in American Politics

America is the only advanced democracy with a two-party system. Advocates says it helps unite a vast, multi-ethnic nation. But third-party candidates have had a major influence on American presidential elections. The coalitions that have held the two parties together in the past are now shifting. More so than in previous presidential elections, the 1996 race may see the emergence of one or more serious presidential candidates who say it’s time for something new. This program features several political experts discussing the potential impact of a third party in 1996. (24 minutes)
