Yes, both major parties are ripe for a mass exodus.
The most likely significant 3rd party would be progressives and it might incorporate the Greens. I think Libertarians would grow a bit. Labor would stay with the Dems if the party took an honest position on outsourcing jobs and saving our industrial base. Otherwise, Labor would join the Progressives.
This cannot happen unless proportional representation becomes a reality. This allows meaningful coalitions to form over specific issues. It would make our government far more healthy with many more opportunities for different ideas (new and old) to actually get in the public discussion.
We might find the parties actually talking to each other.
