Actually I hadn't known about this treaty until a book I read this last weekend mentioned it in passing. The book I read was Conservatives Betrayed by Richard A. Viguerie. It was pretty good, although I didn't agree with all of it. One idea presented was a New York law that allows a candidate to run under more than one party. Viguerie would like all the states to do the same. Under such a scheme a person could for example run as a candidate for the Constitution Party and the Libertarian Party and the votes for each would be added together to make a 3rd party candidate more viable. Although having viable 3rd parties is appealing in some ways I look at Canada and their fractured political system and have to say no thanks. At least with the two party system we usually have a winner with a majority which I think adds to political stability. * * *
