Something I have been bitchin' about for decades. Goos to see that someone else is questioning the sanity of the pfractice.

Venerable institutions from department stores to news- papers have been hammered by sweeping cultural and technological evolution. California's two-party political system could become another victim.

The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC), confirming what political insiders and analysts had already concluded, found that the two major parties are rapidly losing ground among California voters, especially younger voters, and forecast that by 2025 independent voters, already approaching 20 percent of the electorate, could outnumber those of either party.

"We are an institution in transition, as are newspapers," the long-serving chairman of the state Democratic Party, Art Torres, acknowledged Thursday during a seminar at which the PPIC study was unveiled.
