The Third Party

By: Greg McLaughlin

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Clinton Groverton secures the role of Presidential candidate through the extreme measure of forming a new independent political party and petitioning each state one by one.No independent candidate for the Office of the President of the United States has ever won even a single electoral vote in any national election. Despite the odds, Groverton’s fledgling organization, simply called the American Unicratic Party, takes hold of the public and gains grass-roots popularity like wildfire. Groverton’s poll numbers grow with each unique and revolutionary component of his platform. And before long, the number of “Unicrats” starts to rival the number of Republicans and Democrats. Will this new moderate and centrist party with radical ideas for improving the American society survive the election and all the mudslinging and dirty politics it evokes? Can it deliver on its promise to lead the nation and unite the country? Or will the outlandish Groverton brand of disruptive ideas rip apart a tried and true political system that has existed and flourished in the American lexicon since the first Presidential election?Moreover, will the election and all its fallout destroy Clint’s party, his reputation and his life?
