I believe political parties should be abolished altogether. George Washington, very wisely, warned about the dangers of political parties. "...they (political parties) are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion." -George Washington
