Why do the parties have to negotiate regarding when nominating |

occurs? I find this Kabuki dance bizarre. Why not set hard dates for all aspects of the national election and require both or all parties to meet them?

1. the parties set their own rules, the gov't doesn' t tell them what to do |
|
i'm not sure governmental control over the parties would be a better thing than what we have now.
what i do think would be better would be to remove the massive governmental protections the two main parties enjoy at the expense of all others. not that i'm a big fan of third parties, but their potential power should drive the big two to EARN their positions rather than simply have them protected.
