Republicans are balking at a Democratic senator's proposal to make it easier for minor parties to be listed on the Tennessee ballot.

Democratic Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle of Memphis wants to set a threshold of 10,000 signatures from eligible voters for a third party to be recognized in the state, down from a GOP proposal of about 40,000 signatures from registered voters.

"My goal is to allow people who believe they're in the Tea Party or the Green Party or the Libertarian Party to get on the ballot," Kyle said. "Any organization that can get 10,000 signatures is as legitimate a political entity as any other.

"People should be able to stand up there and say I believe in these principles. I just think democracy works better when the rules are fair."

Republican House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick of Chattanooga said he is concerned about fracturing Tennessee's political landscape.

"I don't want to see us become like Italy and have a dozen different parties and all these splinter groups, and have to make coalitions with them,"

Yes Mr McCormick I'm sure if you had your way there would be only ONE party. Why should voters have actual CHOICE?
