II think both major parties would split - GOP into Tea Party and a more business-focused urban party; the Dems into a genuine Social Democrat Party and a centrist party focusing on small businesses and urban professionals
Why would the Democratic party split? They are a collectivist party where every Democrat has the exact same position for the same reason on every issue.
Your GOP split made no sense. The Tea Party ... think about the name ... is an anti-tax, anti spending movement. How does it make sense the GOP would spit into two economic focused groups? Republicans would split into a socon and fiscal group. What's happening though is that rather then splitting off, the fiscal consertative tea party is co-opting the Republican party. It's a better plan considering they are facing the monolithic left.
The only splits are the ones that exist now. Libertarians come from the Republican party, we're the extreme anti-socon agenda element. The Greens are Democrats who don't mind being called communists. Both poll 1 percent or less and we're not going to change that anytime soon.
Don't kid yourself that just the republicans would vote libertarian. Many democrats are equally concerned about the erosion of civil liberties and the growth of our international military presence and would vote libertarian also.
