According to Reuters, on July 27, local time, dozens of former Republican and Democratic officials in the United States announced that they would set up a new national party "Forward" to attract the number of disappointment of the two -party system that was disordered in the United States. Millions of voters.

Earlier, there were many precedents for third political parties in the United States, but none of them were successful in developing and growing in the polarized US politics. However, the leaders of the new party said that the current situation has changed, and quite a lot of American people have disappointed the Democratic and Republican Party and want a third party.

"Not left to the left, not to the right, move forward"

The new party named "forward" will hold a formal launching ceremony in Houston on September 24th, and will hold a series of activities in more than 20 American cities this fall to launch the party platform and attract voters' support. It is also expected to be next summer. The first National Congress was held.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang and former Republican New Jersey Governor Christine Toddman will jointly serve as the Chairman of the Party.

The two major programs of the new party are: "Revitalize a fair and prosperous economy" and "more choices for Americans in the election, more confident in a good government, and more speeches for our future. right".

At present, the Qianjian Party has not introduced specific policies, but he positioned ourselves as an intermediate party: "How will we solve major problems facing the United States?

The goal of the advanced party is to achieve party registration and voting in 30 states by the end of 2023, and vote for 50 states across the country before the Presidential and Congress elections in 2024. Its goal is to allow candidates to participate in local campaigns, such as the school's board of directors and the city council, the state parliament, and the US Congress until the presidential position.

In an interview, Yang Anze said that the party's launch budget was about 5 million US dollars, and there are already thousands of donors and grassroots members.

"The financial situation at the beginning is very strong. Fund support is not a problem." Yang Anze said.

Can the third party shake the traditional two -party system?

In recent years, a lot of new political groups have appeared for the increasingly polarized and ride political system in the United States. The advanced party has been merged from the previous three political groups.

This merger involves: the "Revival America Movement" established in 2021, which is composed of dozens of former officials from the Republican government such as Reagan, Bush, Bush, and Trump; Founded by Yang Anze, who became a partyless person; the "serving American movement" organization, which consists of the Democratic Party, Republican and independent people. Its executive director was former Republican Congress David Jolly.

A member of the Founding of the Communist Party of China quoted a poll of Gallop last year that two -thirds of Americans in the recorded records needed a third party. They said that in the case of the Republican and Democratic Party, I hope that this new party can become another feasible choice.

However, from a historical point of view, in the United States' two -party system, even if the third party occasionally affects the presidential election, it has never been able to grow and grow.

Earlier, the Green Party's Nader squeezed enough votes from the Democratic presidential candidate Gore in 2000, but unexpectedly helped the Republican Bush win the presidential election.

Many Democrats stated on the social media platform that they are worried that history will repeat itself. This new party will snatch more votes from the Democratic Party rather than the Republican Party, and eventually help Republicans to run for presidents in the evenly matched campaign.

It is unclear how a country like a two -polarized country in the United States is so severe, and the new advanced party may affect the election prospects of other political parties. Political analysts expressed doubt whether it can succeed.

Step Rosenberg, a senior party -free political analysis, said that it is easy to talk about establishing a third party, but it is almost impossible to do it.

He said: "The two major parties have a huge advantage at the beginning, including 50 states established in the past decades."

Rosenberg pointed out that the third party presidential candidates such as John Anderson in 1980 and 1992 and 1996 failed, and failed to establish a real third party, thus becoming a national politics. factor.

Melz Taylor, former Ministry of Land and Security of the Trump administration, also participated in the creation of the new party. He said that the idea was to provide voters with "a feasible, credible national third party."

Taylor acknowledged that in the past, the third party party failed, but he said: "The fundamentals have changed. Other third party movements that appeared in the past were performed in the background of the American people who did not require another choice. Different ones. Yes, we see a lot of Americans now say they want a new party. "
