I think a lot of people are at the point of losing faith in the Democratic Party and in the two-party system, period.

We are spending all of our time with this petition drive. We want to make sure we have a party before we get into a campaign.

A large percentage of Democrats ... would be willing to change party allegiance if there's a real alternative that speaks more directly to the needs and interests of working-class people. There's no doubt in my mind about that.

It's not that people don't want (the LP) or don't think it's needed.

There is a disenchantment with the institutions of elected government. In too many countries, people are losing faith in their political systems and leaders,

We've seen growing respect for NGOs' impartiality, which is a function of a long-term trend of people losing faith in the impartiality of scientists.
