The Rise of Independent Candidates and Third Parties

Katherine Gehl is the founder of The Institute for Political Innovation and co-author of “The Politics Industry: How Political Innovation Can Break Partisan Gridlock and Save Our Democracy,” with Harvard Business School professor Michael E. Porter. She is the architect and evangelist of a new approach to elections called "Final Five Voting" that she says it will help solve many of the problems in Washington by changing the incentives that guide our elected officials. On today's RCP Takeaway podcast, Gehl joins RealClearPolitics bureau chief Carl Cannon and moderator Andrew Walworth to discuss how our electoral system affects decision-making by public officials and whether Final Five Voting can change American politics for the better.
